HehehIn my day to day use of my own Vista PCs I very rarely get any 'obnoxiously intrusive' that you speak of. You should only get UAC warnings if you are installing software or changing OS files or settings. And those are just not things you do day in and day out. Now if you are not an admin on the system then things are totally different... which is a great thing.You got me there. The mighty mouse is a darn good mouse. The single button track pad is 'teh suck'.   This. Is. Not. True. You are provided security updates (but only security ones). The very reason you mentioned is why they let you get security updates. And you still have access to all your data, if you don't resolve your licensing issue with them in a timely manner it might not be usable on that system... but you still have access to it. That is not to say they have a perfect system. It has had a few well publicized failures, but as a rule your statement is not true. Yea it needs to die. And I think they know that... but they made some really piss poor decisions years ago. They are just dealing with lazy programmers that dont want to stop using IE6 with ActiveX : ( To the OP:  I am sorry this turned into a Apple/Microsoft battle.  Computers suck.  All of them.  The most important thing is to make sure the action on the keyboard is good and the monitor looks good to you and it can run the programs you need in a timely manor.  hehe</blockquote>
