Without ME its just AWESO
I just installed Vista Ultimate on my computer. I am wondering if any one here has experience with it? mainly i am curious how to turn off the little pop up that lets me know the computer is about to do what i told it to do.
for instance i click on mozilla to get on the internet (i don't use IE) and a box comes up to let me know i am about to open mozilla. its not a big deal but its annoying and it does it with a few other programs. is there a way to make it stop?

Of course, you probably don't want to turn off security.

thats what i thought. i was hoping there were was a way to turn off certain elements of security without affecting the whole thing.
and that commercial was the first thing that came to mind when i was installing it last night.

From what I've been told by people who installed Vista, this is the biggest gripe right now with Vista.
Maybe they'll fix it in a future patch. As it stands now, though, the security model seems to be kindof retarded. A lot of firewall SW for XP allows you to set permissions on a per app basis and only get notified when a new app does something unexpected.

Strip it and put XP back in.....
Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

should've got the basic without the security junk. Stinger is better.
Anyone have any thoughts on Linux? I have a few distributions but have not installed them or tried em out other than a shell for simple programming, finding libraries that people are willing to give away for free is a pain at times though.

With Vista, can you turn off security and run an XP firewall? I don't have Vista, so I don't know.

Any Vista success stories or fans out there?

The main problem with Linux is there's not a lot of commercial apps. If you're just running a server or something and not using it for home use, then you could probably try that.
But if you're using it for home use and want to run some commercial software, unless it runs under Wine or something, you'd probably be SOL.
