where to begin? first off, its much worse then windows XP "are you shure you want to do what you just told me you want to do?" pops up often enough, that and the fact that you need at least a gig of RAM just to run it, let alone make it think, add that to the fact that the compatability issues are just absurd (although it can be mended, most people wont have a clue as to how to do that) its sluggish and slow, all it brings to the table is balenced by everything else it brought (EG intuitive OS navagation, countered by the fact that to even glance at a file not on your desktop it whines and complains constantly) that and the fact that being a GAMES and VIDEO PC you need to install every little patch or converter just to get the simplist of things to work
You know, all the problems you have with it could be addressed by:
1) turning of the UAC (in account management) - that'll get rid of the confirmation messages (though if you're too retarded to work that out yourself then perhaps you need the computer to hold your hand when you run programs) and
2) upgrading to service pack 1 (as the OS is no doubt prompting you), tried and tested to be superior to XP at the vast majority of tasks on a medium spec computer, including gaming. Now that everybody has produced Vista-compatible drivers pretty much everything currently works fine, unlike at its rather abysmal launch.
Oh, and as to RAM usage - you only have 2Gb, I presume? If you're running the os on minimum specs, then you can only expect that there's going to be performance issues, just like with any other program -_-U. 4Gb should be standard for Vista, and dont forget that unlike XP there's not a realistic limit on the amount of RAM the system will use - as I understand it, Vista will use 8Gb of RAM whilst XP is limited to just 4 - though I could be wrong on the exact numbers.
Rants like yours are pathetic and ill-informed, and all the needless Vista-hate is why the new Windows 7 sounds NOTHING LIKE IT - any similarity would only attract further puerile hatred. Even though it is, essentially, optimised Vista with some new funky features. I can say from my experience with the Beta that 7 works like a CHARM - it even automatically downloaded ALL the correct drivers for all my hardware as part of the install procedure, and I've got a Wacom tablet and Razer mouse, as well as a 24 inch monitor - all worked instantly and completely. Such a nice experience compared to XP. Plus it's lighter on resources than Vista!

So turn that feature off? Is that too hard to to do?
