IS SO GODDAMN AGGRAVATING RAAARRRRRGGHHHHHHHHHHH
Just installed a copy of Vista (64-bit) on my machine at work on a separate hard drive so I can test software on both XP and Vista. All I have to say is damn all those critics were mostly right. It's so irritating to do anything.
And who the hell had the bright idea of making the power button in the start menu NOT ACTUALLY TURN OFF THE COMPUTER?
Will update with more grievances as I discover them.
P.S. AAAAAAAAAH DAMN USER ACCOUNT CONTROL

Honestly, there isn't enough server space on the machine this site is being hosted on for the size this thread will be if you post out every issue you find.
Please save us from the torture of 30 sec page load times, 'cause you'll make the server QQ by the end of the day. Lol.

I found the user account control shit so annoying I turned it off completely. Of course, it never stops reminding you that it thinks you're a dumbass. It's like getting insulted by a retarded kid.

UAC is pretty annoying, but just turn it off. Vista is great otherwise.

I turned off UAC but it keeps telling me that it's a problem, something turned off UAC, TURN IT BACK ON TURN IT BACK ON RIGHT NOW
That and I have no way of permanently disabling device driver signing.

You permanently disable it by wiping your hard drive and installing Windows XP. I did it with my laptop. Fuck Vista. Fuck Vista in the gouche. Yes the gouche.

If you dig online, there are ways of signing your own drivers, but it's a bunch of script monkey stuff and I don't trust it.
