You guys need to remember this is BETA software and the reason for all the confirmations is the UAC control which has been changing quite a bit with every build. They are still nailing UAC down - This is bound to change before it ships.Remember they have said they expect another delay for the home versions of vista. I would like to give MS a pat on the back for this. They take so much heat from the press for pushing vista back, but I think this is proof that they don't intend on releasing a product that isn't ready for the public.
Hmm..I ran betas of Win95, Win2k, and XP and I don't remember anything like what you are describing. In other words, I don't remember any excess dialogs that were then later removed. Care to site some specific examples?
Right. Sure. Whatever. And _this_ year is bound to be the year of the linux desktop....they've been predicting it for so long, it's bound to come true eventually...right?
Regarding using 'rm -rf' I work on projects on *nix that have hundreds of thousands of files/project, our great IT guys have aliased 'rm' to 'rm -i' in a global shell rc file, if you do an 'rm' on one of these projects, I CANNOT be prompted 12000 times saying 'yes' yes yes, so first line in my shell rc file is 'unalias rm', and when I need then yes I do 'rm -rf ' and it's gone..however, I gotta say I have a 'sticky note' on my screen saying 'NEVER use RM in a sequence of history commands' with 'NEVER' having 4 lines under it (did an 'fc' in sh before and not noticing the sequence it had an 'rm' and i ended up losing about 3 days of work, gladly I had a backup from a few hours ago).But yes sometimes you NEED the 'rm -rf' on a huge directory trees.
Many people have already mentioned that you can turn this beta feature off. They have also mentioned that it doesn't exist in the latest beta. Maybe you need the "I'm retarded" feature kept on. Read before you make mindless posts.
Unfortunately, at this point OpenOffice is still a fair bit slower than MS Office. Also in a work environment many organizations are using Exchange Server. Therefore employees need Outlook installed to get their email.

I only use Windows because school/work require me to. Vista makes me want to drop out/quit.
