1. Yes. And SP2 doesn't get owned on the internet. 2. I remember at least one, and haven't heard of *any* "true" viruses on Vista so far. Whatever I've seen has been social engineering, similar to this OS/X malware. 3. No.
Since VS2005 is an upgrade over VS2003, and VS2003 is somewhat different from VS6, it makes complete sense. What the fuck do you want, Word 1.0 supported on Vista?
SuperFetch caches frequently used files into RAM. It doesn't have anything to do with Flash memory. If you open Task Manager in Vista, you'll see something like
Memory Total: 2047 Cached: 1347 Free: 1
1347 MB of RAM is being used as a cache for files by SuperFetch. Are we talking about the same thing?
Could you please post test results? I really can't imagine how SuperFetch is useless.
I'm not so sure about ReadyBoost -- did they test it in the conditions it is designed to handle, i.e. very high loads with lower amounts of RAM? I don't think it'll show improvement under low loads.
Also, given that the first hybrid hard drive was released some hours ago, did they land a "pre-release copy" to test?
You can also use Group Policy (run gpedit.msc) to change UAC settings. There's a setting in Local Computer Policy (Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options -> User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode) that allows you to elevate any application without prompting. This lessens the security, of course.
You can even turn off UAC altogether, though this isn't really recommended -- it disables several other security measures.
A Google search didn't result in any matches. Could you please post the exact message, and, if possible, a screenshot?
Is the message a UAC one? If so, does your application conceptually require admin privileges? You'll have to reprogram it to not require admin privileges if it does not.
The tone of TFS does. "Programs cannot Be Uninstalled In Vista?" Nice device -- just use the question mark on a smear to disclaim it if it is later found false. I think it's called the "Cavuto mark", after the guy on Fox News.
At least five grammatical errors. Better get your own house in order before spreading FUD. The best FUD-spreaders have proper English skills, I can grant them that.:P
Have a look at the smart-ass comments here as another example: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/07/15/164 1254 "I used my uninstall button a long time ago". Every minor bug is blown out of proportion, as if it had never ever happened before to any other OS. Do look at the editor's name, as well.
Yes, one side is dishonest spin -- the OSS side. Take this article as an example. This has *absolutely nothing* to do, either with the linked article (which details trials on BRAND NEW PCs), or with Office 2007. In my dictionary, this is known as creating fear, uncertainty and doubt in the minds of any people who might want to try it out. FUD for short.
As an aside: Most of the rambling points about Vista (no new features, less secure than XP, UAC pops up incessantly, for example) areobjectively,demonstrably,andalmostcompletelyfalse. When you challenge objective truths, you are either ignorant or malicious. I'd wager the latter.

As usual, a tradeoff. Opera doesn't have extensions (and no, UserJS doesn't count).
First -- it isn't true anymore.
1. Yes. And SP2 doesn't get owned on the internet.
2. I remember at least one, and haven't heard of *any* "true" viruses on Vista so far. Whatever I've seen has been social engineering, similar to this OS/X malware.
3. No.
Does XP pre-cache frequently used files? This doesn't make sense. Every DVD I've tried has played fine on Vista.
It does.
"Ever" has always meant "forever till now".
Good thing +funny doesn't increase karma. Evil idea: mod up to +5 funny, then mod down to -1 troll (because that's what it is), then +5 funny... etc.

You're actually saying Vista offers less utility than XP?
You could say that it offers as much as XP (you'd still be wrong), but to say that it offers less is... unbelievable.

From the blog:
"The vulnerability affects Windows XP SP2 with IE7 and Adobe Reader 8.1, 8.0 and 7. Windows Vista users are not affected."
The security updates you get every day are probably for the applications you have.
In any case, please do go ahead and point me to a public SQL Server 2005/IIS6 vulnerability.
IIS: http://secunia.com/product/1438/
SQL Server: http://secunia.com/product/6782/
IIS 6 and SQL Server 2005 have never ever EVER been compromised -- both vulnerabilities in IIS were not publicly disclosed. So, AC, like, STFU.
Next we'll hear Vista eats children.

Does the summary have anything to do with the article or Office 2007? You're dodging the question.
I'm an apologist for truth -- and proud of it.
Again: if you challenge *objective* truths, it is out of either ignorance or malice.
Mate. Don't get upset. Check who I replied to. I didn't reply to you, I replied to "Joe The Dragon".
I haven't had any problems with the update, either.

There are programs to customize the Ribbon. It's fully customisable, just not from within Office.
d ex.php, and I suspect a full-featured OSS solution will be available soon, if there is the demand for it.
A quick google search threw up http://pschmid.net/office2007/ribboncustomizer/in
