You do not have to use Vista, and feel good about it.
Vista is over the top on not allowing you to view/access files. I just tried to install Adobe reader, and it would not install until I reactivated my "user account control". Trying to share files was a mission also. I am sure for business users, these security options would be good, but for the home user, it seems over the top to me. I am spending more time, changing my security options than I am using the computer.
