People said that they wanted a more secure system - that's what Vista is; the security architecture has been re-vamped from the ground up. Given that the vast majority of people use a PC for only three things:
- Web browsing
- EMail
- Word processing
most people won't have problems.
As I've said before, there have always been stringent guidelines for Windows programming concerning things like which directories you should regard as "writable". It's always been the "rule" that you should never write anything to "Program Files" from within an application, for example. Previous versions of Windows allowed you to break the rules with relative impunity; Vista forces you to follow them.
My 10 year old, highly complex, software runs perfectly on Vista because I follow all the rules
. Unfortunately, BD very definitely doesn't. This really isn't Vista's "fault".
