Hidden files are shown the same way they were shown in XP, so if you had a problem in vista you would have had the same problem in XP...same with showing extensions. Moving files is drag and drop...have no idea why this would be an issue. Those msgs saying you don't have permission are security measures to keep remotes from installing on the machine, yes they tend to annoy most users. Eudora was released in Oct. of 2006, not an extremely old program by any means, but Vista is a different beast then XP, so just expecting every program you ran under XP to run unupdated on Vista is going to be a disappointment.
MS was vilified for bad security in XP, so they take steps to improve it in Vista which may require some programs be updated to meet the new standards, and then the programs themselves aren't updated, and Vista is blamed. I feel like some are complaining because their new car has anti-lock brakes and power steering...blame the car maker for my over steering and plowing into a wall.
