Windows Vista's Speed Bumps
,----[ Quote ]
| Unfortunately, after many months of using Windows Vista, I conclude
| that Microsoft has placed a thick security facade around the operating
| system that impedes usability compared to Windows XP. The comparison to
| XP is important. Microsoft must emphasize user benefits to show potential
| customers that the current operating system isn't good enough compared
| to Windows Vista. If the experience isn't better--as in much
| better--customers will be less likely to rush out and buy off-the-shelf
| upgrades or new Windows Vista PCs. Neither situation would be good for
| Microsoft partners.

| For me, Internet Explorer 7 security warnings are so much a nuisance I
| now mainly use Firefox, which is a dramatic change. For years, I continued
| to use and defend IE to Firefox switchers. Firefox is safe enough without
| all the security noise.
