Note that if you run as a non-administrator account in Vista and try to do something that requires privilege escalation you get a password prompt on the UAC alert (exactly like in Linux or OSX).
If you run on an administrator account UAC only requires a mouse click to escalate your privileges.
Personally I'm surprised at people who'd used Linux before complaining about UAC, you'd think working with Linux would have taught them, the benefits of escalation password prompts and being able to run with limited privileges and escalating only if necessary
On the other hand, there are many past instances where pilots have panicked when things went bad and made terrible decisions that made things worse.
So pilots aren't immune from panicking in a sticky situation.
Same here, this feature is absolutely awful and it boggles my mind why this is not disabled in Vista and Windows 7
I have to agree, obviously the end result is pretty crappy MIDI style background music, but overall I'm pretty impressed that it's able to generate something that actually does follow the flow of the song programatically.
On the other hand, are they actually selling this thing? It might be fun to play around with, but I don't see it working as a commercial product.
How do you know that all those infected windows systems are infected due to Windows and not because of some user's fault, some app's fault... etc.?
The latter scenario should be far more likely on windows because the userbase of windows is far broader and encompasses a much larger population of clueless users than the Linux world.
Personally I have never had any luck with the desktop search feature on Vista.
I have no love for macs but all I know is that spotlight feels a LOT more accurate than Vista when it comes to real time desktop searching and I'm not sure why
