Dikitain 08/27/22 11:58:01 PM #4:	The main complaint with Vista and UAC wasn't that it was there, it was that EVERYTHING required it. 7 reduced it to only installs on software that you download, which is what it is today. That is fine, having to do it every time your web browser updates or you open Steam is not. --- My bookshelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/152760030 Comics: https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/profile/dikitain <cite>Dikitain posted [p:967622942] in Remember w...

adjl 08/28/22 9:48:56 AM #11:	Callmege posted... Remember when they basically repackaged Windows Vista SP1 as Windows 7 and every thought it was amazing? It was a bit more than that, but yeah. SP1 was a massive improvement over Vista's initial release, but I can understand people who hadn't made the switch to Vista yet being hesitant to accept "don't worry we fixed it." Present it as a new version of the OS around which the general discourse is positive, though, and you'll get more people willing to give it a shot. --- This is my signature.
