Well, it doesn’t seem that bad. Every once in a while when I do something (like delete a link from the program menu) I’ll get that “allow” box and the desktop will go dim until I click on it, which takes a nanosecond. And this is the Premium issue so it has that fancy “Aero” effect, which is pretty but nothing to get hysterical about. Otherwise it seems to work more or less the same as XP. I had no trouble installing some of my favorite programs, and the box has enough memory installed to handle the load. So there.

I just got a new Vista desktop for my wife, I had to kill that “Allow Box” because it was driving her nuts. Also it came with Vista Home Basic, so I’m not sure what Aero is…

Well, the allow box isn’t driving me nuts yet. All I have to do is click the “allow” response and it goes away. It is kind of startling when everything fades when it pops up… Aero is just some extra fancy graphics stuff, that’s all, you don’t really need it — just stuff to make the windows look pretty.
PS: congrats on reading an old post! I was beginning to get frustrated and was going to post a threat to just have a “daily” post like Lileks’ Bleats.
