Let's not forget the awesome 64-bit environment.
I'm 100% serious.

I only upgrade when I get a new computer that comes with the next big thing. When I started looking at laptops I was a bit leery, because Vista doesn't have a great reputation. That said, the switch has been pretty much painless. The only issue I had was with setting up PHP, which was more of a combination of noting being e-smart enough to do so in the first place and trying to use an XP tutorial.
I haven't really noticed it being any better or worse than XP in terms of viruses but I never really got many of those.
Vista has run everything I throw at it better than my XP box did, but there was a significant hardware upgrade between the two.

Turning off UAC is one of the dumbest things you could do, but sure why not.

It's dumb if you're on a shared family computer, but if it's your own, there's no reason to keep it on. UAC is just that, a tool to scare new PCs users and make sure they don't do anything stupid. | |

That is fine. the problem is, sm isn't configured to look there by default, so essentially your edits disappear into a folder and you will never know unless you understand exactly how UAC works on a technical level.
this is sm's fault as a legacy application but it's still an issue to consider. you run into multiple problems like this across the board using vista; i'd know because i help people with an enterprise app on vista and xp every fucking day. | Isn't the simple solution to install SM somewhere other than Program Files? Shoot, you could make a folder in C:\ called "Program Files 2" and dump everything in there, at least in theory.
And what exactly does UAC do anyway? | |

Everyone just shut up and download that Server 2008 you can get for free.
End of arguing. | |

afaik if you turn off UAC all you are doing is turning off the prompts.

I only say it's retarded to have it turned off because I have had something try to run and install itself and thanks to UAC it was stopped.
Just saying.
