You know what really gets me about the annoying Vista security model? It's that the one in XP isn't THAT bad, its just the default configuration that is THAT bad. If you (1) password protect the "administrator" account and (2) run as a non-admin user when not doing admin things (most of the time), you will eliminate many problems.
I know, I know, it is still not as good as *nix security, and there are lots of programs that need admin privileges to run properly (fewer these days, though), but it isn't that bad.
