Download something from the net - first IE warns you are you sure you want to download this, then Vista pops up and warns you that something is trying to download (yeah I told it to!), then when it's done downloading IE warns about it being unsafe and then Vista pops up again and warns me it could be unsafe, at the end of the day I've got a HND in Software Engineering I know what might damage the system and I don't need some rubbish piece of software to keep whinging at me every five seconds, I presume there is a way to turn these warnings off, if not they really should have to save fustrated PC technicians keep having to click OK about 5 times just to get the PC to do something.

I absolutely hate the slow performance and the location of everything.<br /> <br /> I don't know why Microsoft did this. They were doing constant updates and improvements to XP and I think the world has been pretty satisfied with it. I understand that the conservative Germans are very much againt Vista.<br /> <br /> Monopolies are never good. What a shame that Microsoft rules the world and doesn't make market studies to see what a broad spectrum the business and individual public thinks about a future product.<br /> <br /> I am very disappointed in Vista and wish it had never been invented.

Monopolies are never good. What a shame that Microsoft rules the world and doesn't make market studies to see what a broad spectrum the business and individual public thinks about a future product.

I am very disappointed in Vista and wish it had never been invented.
