I’ve been using XP for almost four years and have yet to experience a virus or other malicious program from ‘taking’ over my computer. There is no need for UAC with a good anti-virus program and either a hard or soft firewall.

To be honest I’m really glad they’ve added UAC. I have it on some of my family members PC’s who have no idea how to use a computer. I’ve got them put as non-administrators because they always seem to screw things up despite only using the computer for Internet access. I can’t believe my eyes when I see their computer without 50 toolbars in Internet Explorer.

I guess Microsoft did a poor job using those techy words. Hard for newbies!

Yeah, they could have definitely made it a lot easier for new people, but then again most people won’t care about those kind of features. They’ll just expect them to work without knowing what they actually are.

Not only the tech words….they did a poor job with the actual technologies.

ReadyBoost does squat.

UAC is some kind of April Fools joke by MS. Surely, it is? It has to be? Are they serious? Is that the kind of thinking that goes on in MS? UAC?

LOL.
