 common sense ?? UAC was implemented in Vista to make it more secure (it was an attempt to copy Linux and Mac's kernel security feature) ...... The problem is not the UAC itself , but the way it was implemented in Vista ... for example UAC notification slows down tasks like copying (this does not happen in Mac or Linux) it has been drastically improved in windows 7 any techie would have the common sense not to disable UAC as it will make the system more vulnerable to attacks and there are a lot of other problems , like file and registry virtualisation being disabled when UAC is disabled its like being caught between the devil and the deep blue sea Dont disable UAC = Annoying pop ups and performance hits Disable UAC = lesser security Quote:

| true UAC's much better in 7. I feel that those who do need its features can instead use a limited user account and then elevate priority when required like s/w installs etc. never tried that though. |

XP was released 9 years ago .... considering that you are doing ur UG now .... u and ur friends must have been somewhere between 11-13 years old ..... An age where u would nt even have known to install an OS let alone review it which completely disproves your statements regarding ur friends XP was not as unstable as vista when it was released ..... it had its problems but did not have any major driver issues because it was not released hurriedly like Vista ... all softwares used in 98 were also compatible with xp and there was really no other big issue . How can u prove this ?? Easy Install a Windows XP without service packs or any updates Install a Windows Vista without service packs or any updates Try to get it working in full condition (with drivers , full HDD and so on) you ll see what i mean Quote:

 OMG, u have seriously under estimated your youngsters mate !off-topic : Nowdays kids are getting smarter, they have computer subjects from std 2  It might surprise you (although a lot less after seeing KK's posts) that whatever info I knew abt computer came from my doctor cousin (if he comes online here, maybe he can speak for himself). although I didn't know the exact working of OS, I had a fair idea of how it did and internet was a big resource. Also you would be surprised on much information can be collected by reading help files of various system utilities like Norton Utilities and as well as windows help files. After all , windows installation is a piece of cake, atleast when u hav standard h/w that is. Back to the point, one of the friends in question , was a geek, i mean he grew learning lang etc. Quote:
and what do you mean by "...released hurriedly like vista..." vista was released way past due date, and after those tremendous painfull delays..... Quote:

| ^ Viruses aint gonna be doing that they ll install and run w/o your knowledge using run as command as Admin user is not going to help security Quote:
I am a poster in many other forums and also work in that field .... and so i know many tech kids/adults in India .... and their level of knowledge you are mistaken on one point .... the scenario in 2001 was very different .... IT boom had not hit India and so Internet and computer penetration was very low ... ppl used computers but they were not very deep into it .... This can be easily made out from the fact that Indian tech forums/magazines etc started cropping up only in the last 5 years or so ... the level of knowledge that a 13 yr has now is surely greater than what u or i would have had when we were 13 . so u cannot compare ur generation with the present or future generation ..... that also applies to kiran and Milan ofcourse Quote:

Rep Power: 5  | Then switch to it. Start with ubuntu or if you are technical minded & like to break your computer to LFS. We are here to help you out in this peaceful transition ( well I will not be able to help you much in case of lfs as I will start using it when they will release a guide on x86_64 platform also, clfs is available but I don't it like that much) |

| Senior Member & Mod | i am running beta version of 7 on my desky... somethings have changed after i logged it in my system... 1st: cannot read CDs of specific types... like the Pirated ones, windows installers etc.. 2nd: PC gets automatically closed by itself, without any supervision error message, no blue screen of thrill etc. just sleeps and you have to restart it again... though the problem arised after i changed O.S to windows 7 from former vista... 3rd: Nokia edge modem fails after first 5 minutes of running.. remains busy(even after i have taken out the usb wire out of the jack)... 4th: cannot check for online troubleshooters... 5th: sometimes, when i open the compy, the windows start up sucks my time, for which i have to restart, go into start windows in safe mode blah blah blah, and when everything is installing there , i have to restart in mid and start windows normally... life sucks... had been windows be free like the Ubuntu ones. i would have definetly donated for MS... thats a crap for money, which i virtually paid them in mind.. |
