I finally got around to installing Vista Beta 2 last night in a Virtual PC. I couldn't do it on my works laptop because it was just too slow. The gaming pc at home though seems to boot it up okay. Haven't played with it though as I had to leave it installing over night! Man it took ages!
I read somewhere that Vista will be super fast to install as it uses imaging technology (like Ghost). Maybe that bit's not released yet...
One thing I did notice though! The first user still has admin privileges! When are they gonna change this???
Stupidity! That's the root cause of all the security problems in Windows. If the default back in NT or 2000 was to give users non-admin rights then us programmers (admit it, we're all guilty!) wouldn't have written programs that assume this. It's a catch-22. Run as admin and all your programs & spyware work fine. Run as a standard user and half your programs don't work. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
