disturbed Posted May 23, 2006 CID Share Posted May 23, 2006 i dont think its going to be hard to change the level of security that requires admin acknowledgment - just like anything previous that microsoft has released, if its annyoing, people will find a way around it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted May 23, 2006 CID Share Posted May 23, 2006 i agree. hackers and the scriptkiddy scum that uses the exploits will be all over this sucker when it comes out. "ooh. a new ms os. let's hack it. we are so cool." the only good thing i guess is that with the dmca and patriot act things get a little stickier for the bastards if they get caught.

tommie gorman Posted May 24, 2006 CID Share Posted May 24, 2006 Nice find ROM-DOS. I like it quite well. The Aero Glass is real cool. The Device Driver Automatic will be a nice change. The Preview Open Aps is nice also. And the Tree Structure is a nice feature also. But I wonder how much$$? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i would never buy a retail copy of an os. if i needed a license i would buy a cheap comp with it and use it for something else with a linux or so. with 200 bucks for a retail xp home buying a comp for 330 at dell with a license means you get a decent office box and monitor for 130. insane. :haha: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted May 24, 2006 CID Share Posted May 24, 2006 Yeah, I will probably upgrade my comp. And give my kids a newer model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
