Sometimes I hate egging on trolls, but I hate FUD even more...
Windows Update still uses ActiveX. If it is off by default, it means Vista machines won't be updated.
Nice try, but Vista has a separate update program. You no longer need to visit Windows Update using IE. From here on out I can see you don't use Vista and just perpetuate FUD for the fun of it.
Isn't that the one that Windows Update keep bugging us XP users to download again? Not an improvement over XP then.
When has Windows Update for Windows XP ever bugged anyone about this? Last time I checked it wasn't even available via Windows Update, you had to specifically download it from a different location. I have a whole network at a customer site that agrees with me (full automatic updates, every night at 3am - if it bugged to install, I'd know about it).
Protecting the internet against infected Vista machines... Looks like even Microsoft doesn't believe the claims about security.
Microsoft didn't have this feature. They get blasted because this is a necessary feature. They add the feature. They get blasted because a good operating system wouldn't need it. Make up your mind!
Which protects against nothing once the encryption key is entered to be able to boot the system. Malware won't care, thiefs won't care (they are after the hardware anyway). Terrorist and pedophiles will care, though.
I'll give you this, it really has nothing to do with Malware prevention. It is a good feature to have in terms of general PC security, but I think you lost sight of that in your FUD filled logic.
Oh, re-inventing user accounts... I'm sure Microsoft wish they came up with that idea back in NT 3.5.
Seriously, I think you might have some psychological issues. Microsoft took user opinions into consideration and instead of going "Good call, people could use this feature" you blast them for not thinking of it sooner? Blind hate is just a bad way to go through life.
Blech, I can feel the responses from other ACs forming...
True, but I boat in Lake Michigan, and for some reason the GPS Altometer will jump between hundreds of feet in difference. Therefore it is quite inaccutate at altitude.
I would like to know how accurate the equipment is. I know that the GPS I have on my parents boat is good for speedometer, odometer, and path traveled; but the altometer sucks.
Seriously, when will speeds like that be available for the publics own use?
If we could make a train go that fast, and make it safe, then we could shuttle people from say, Michigan all the way to Florida in just about an hour or two. People would pay as well ; ).

And I thought that my dad's car was fast!

Well, I'm a sophomore in high school and as far as I know, these projects fail a lot. I think it was tried at my school, no one attended.
Make sure that there will actually be people showing up before attempting to create it.
