I am a beta tester of the Microsoft Windows Vista RC1, in fact iam on it right now... the funny thing is to this is that I contacted Microsoft and they recommended that I use Symantec's Anti-virus program.... hmm.
Though that was their recommendation, I opted to use AVG (www.grisoft.com) which DID have a previous problem with MS Windows Vista, however they have fixed the problem, and AVG works just fine. Now if AVG can do it... I can only imagine that Symantec & McAfee can as well... if not now, soon. But paying for something that should be Free is a personal choice, for those with piles of cash go buy the annual licenses from one of the Major Anti-virus companies and have your piece of mind. I have stopped using these big money Anti-virus companies several years back and refuse to use them anyways. Every one I have known to use these payed services have all displayed some sort of angst towards them and have asked to find an alternative... which I GLADLY install...just because you pay money doest mean its worth the cost.
Go with your gut--get what works and dont believe the hype...
Now for not seeing DLLs on the system, I AM LOOKING AT DLL Files RIGHT NOW.. hmmm sounds like the guy above has a USER ISSUE...?? I suggest learn the system before you go out and try to "bash" it. Which in turn this is the classic case of everyone wanting to jump on the band wagon of Microsoft Bashing... which everyone takes their punches at the big guy... I can almost see that this original poster was one of those who thought Y2K was going to destroy the world... or worst yet... Jesus is on the Horizon for tomorrow...prepare your soul??
There are those who just hate the person on top, I think its all a missunderstanding and if people would just do what they can with the things they have at the moment and place they're in, they would see they have all the tools in front of them to do anything from Complain to Enjoyment... My advice to this poster, go buy Linspire lol or something dumbed down so its not so confusing....
Enjoy what you have now, nothing is forever, change is only moments away, dont wait, Thrive with what you have now and dont be afraid of new changes.
