User accounts controls have no way to add program users use everyday. Your terrible grammar makes this nearly impossible to answer - I assume you mean that you can't set UAC to allow you to run something as admin permanently. Why something would need admin access every single day I'm not sure (I'm going to guess a poorly written program) - but if you're making system changes every single day and you're the admin, then you can turn UAC off just for yourself and nobody else.

Windows defender doesn't care if yor using another virus guard it demands to be updated. Because Windows Defender isn't an antivirus.

Hardware in back water hick towns are mostly software controlled fake ware which Vista refuses to run. Examples?

Vista seizes the computer you will not be allowed to do any work what so ever until it's back ground processes which are running in normal mode are done. Um, no, that doesn't happen at all.

MS can not even honestly compare Vista with Windows XP with all patches side by side and show Vista is more secure. And that notion is laughed out by Ars Technica.

Then there is aero the most useless program i ever had crash on me daily. Aero isn't a program.

then there is the fact Ctrl alt del keys sequence is now treated as a request not a fact to stop an irritant program. Ctrl-Alt-Delete operates in the same way as under XP.

Oh and did you notice the Vista PR department stopped trying to dis Linux. Now they are trying to litigate FUD of owning various patents they refuse to show the public at large what they are. SCO tried this ploy too. They're not litigating, so your complaint is "Microsoft stopped attacking Linux. HOW DARE THEY?!!?!?" Nice.

Then there is the H-1B Visa workers that are indentured servants to MS unable to apply at Google or other tech companies. All because ms doesn't want to pay the salaries US workers demand after going into debt through overpriced colleges of America. Citation? I've heard horror stories about H1-B workers at IBM but not Microsoft, like here.

Then there is the fact they will not play fair in the markets using exclusive contracts to lock out competitors. ( can you buy Linux on a store shelf now?) Hasn't happened for years. (Yes.)

then there is the fact MS is going to sell a version of vista that works on lesser PCs. So even the company that produced it has lost faith in the product. Microsoft are releasing a new version of Vista... so they've lost faith in Vista. Awesome.

I was an investor in MS stock now i will make sure my investments have nothing to do with them! I lost ~ 500 USD due to MS not wanting to play fair in the international markets. I divested and will not recommend their stock to any one! As the rest of your post has been fairly shambolic, I'm going to take this little gem with a pinch of salt too.

Recently, Billy-Bob invited a group of Bloggers up to Redmond to discuss how "DRM is too complicated". Remember that?

Well, reportedly, every single Blogger showed up with a Macbook . As you might expect, this apparently floored Gates.

Now, MacroSuck(tm) sends out Winblows laptops to....?

Coincidence? I think not.

Since the standard model for global warming experts is that global warming means stronger hurricanes, like, oh, Katrina, what should we make of the complete failure of this year's hurricane season?

Doesn't the failure of the model imply a problem with the theory?
