I just tried it under a normal user and as an administrative user - both on this system and in a VM.
Not once did it prompt me. I think your memory is faulty.
You do know that they author of said paper didn't actually bother to run Vista on his hardware before he wrote said paper.
Sorry for the formating on the above post.
Peter Gutmann's Vista criticism has come under fire after his speech at the USENIX Security Symposium in August 2007.[3] from George Ou (ZDNet) who challenged Peter Gutmann's claims that Vista Content Protection causes so much additional CPU utilization that it increases power consumption and causes global warming.[4] Gutmann made many of the basic assertions in his paper on Vista content protection but made the more extreme statements at Usenix Boston 2007 as reported by PCWorld.[3] Ou cited data that showed no measurable power differences between 5% and 15% CPU utilization on an Intel E6600 dual-core processor and then cited HD playback performance data from AnandTech which indicated less than 7% total CPU consumption during 1080p VC-1 encoded video playback.[5] Ed Bott challenged some of Peter Gutmann's other claims.[6] Ken Fisher challenged Gutmann's claim that Vista content protection extended beyond commercial content in to user generated content.[7]
Gutmann admittedly doesn't run Windows Vista and stated in his paper: "Can others confirm this? I don't run Vista yet, but if this is true then it would seem to disconfirm Microsoft's claims that the content protection doesn't interfere with playback and is only active when premium content is present". This statement has recently been removed from Gutmann's website but an older PDF version the paper with that statement can be found here.
George Ou later reported that Gutmann relied on web forum postings for several of his key assertions such as excessive CPU and memory consumption in Vista's Media Foundation Protected Pipeline (mfpmp.exe) and AudioDG (Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation) process. Ou's tests showed that the web forum data Gutmann relied on were not repeatable. Furthermore, CPU utilization was wrongly attributed to mfpmp.exe when in fact it was actually accounting for all the CPU consumption in mfpmp.exe and Windows Media Player 11 combined.

Tell you what - ship me an older thinkpad and I will tell you.
Let me give you some advice, spelling windows as Windoze make you look like an immature jackass.
One would think that an IT Manager (or consultant as line 1 doesn't mesh with line 3) who posts on/. would know that Maxtor was bought out by Seagate who is on the list.
I believe it was $175.00 per ticket the last time I saw The Eagles. 11th row center.
It was worth every penny. If you think they tickets are too much then don't buy the damn things.
Slashdot Mirror
That can be changed. Please explain what about the Vista interface they found difficult.
What interface problems did they have?
Point out factual errors isn't being an apologist. BTW nice use of another YEC tactic - that of attacking the person, not the message.
Wrong.

I have UAC turned on but did not receive any prompts. Have you even used Vista?
If it took you 5 hours to figure that out then you really do not need to be using a computer...
Vista takes 5.
1: Right click on desktop.
2: Select Personalize
3: Select Theme
4: Select Windows Classic
5: Click OK.
The Bush all evil all the time site is this way ----> http://reddit.com/
I just moved 3 short cuts to my start menu and didn't get a warning at all. And yes I do have UAC turned on.
No - it isn't new - been going on damn near 10 years.
One would think that an IT Manager (or consultant as line 1 doesn't mesh with line 3) who posts on /. would know that Maxtor was bought out by Seagate who is on the list.
Why no pics? One would think that will all the cameras people have today that SOMEONE would have gotten a picture or ten.
You are heading in the right direction Or are you?
Your error is in the 20 to 40 percent range.
What age do you assume I am?
I believe it was $175.00 per ticket the last time I saw The Eagles. 11th row center. It was worth every penny. If you think they tickets are too much then don't buy the damn things.
Vista has sold many times that number of units but that doesn't stop people from saying it isn't popular and/or a disaster.
Because such rumors are not new. It has been reported by multiple, realworld sources, that Apple did the exact same thing in regards to ATI.
Why has the number of technical articles dropped so much over the years? IOW - why are you trying to turn /. into Digg?
Why should business trust a platform from a company that lets petty crap like that drive product development?
