When I install software, I do have to enter my password so that OS X knows I am authorizing it. But, I don't install software all that often, so I very rarely run into that issue.<BR/><BR/>Both Apple and Microsoft are throwing around statements that are brimming with 'truthiness'. I saw an interview with Bill Gates where - either he's entirely lost in his own world - or he lies like crazy. I'll post the link to the article soon.joshuahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18122308505437361982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808313505663892306.post-47773073426965897972007-02-09T10:44:00.000-05:002007-02-09T10:44:00.000-05:00User Access Control (UAC) in Windows Vista is truly annoying. One of the first things I did was turn that off. It's not clear to me how that impacts overall security.<BR/><BR/>It should be mentioned, though, that the Mac OS X has the same 'feature' - it requires you to enter your password to perform certain functions. <BR/><BR/>The Mac ads do take some liberties with the truth. For example, there's a prevalent idea that Vista requires a major upgrade in hardware, but that is simply not true. Any machine that can run XP can run Vista. Vista may run a bit slower on some hardware, but it will run.Brucenoreply@blogger.com
