Get another pop-up telling me a program is trying to install something on my computer, am I sure I want to do that? (1 Click)

Program finally begins to install. Thats 3 extra clicks, I should just have to open a file and it will start installing.

Also, Aero sucks, my computer is slightly better then the recommenced requirements for Aero and it runs as slow as a dog.

Anyway, I didn't like XP when it first came out, it took me 3 years to install it on my system and now I love it, so in three years time I might revisit Vista.
Just so you know its not Vista that makes the pop ups its your anti virus software and ect, you can turn it off. so dont blame vista for your own things

I haven't tried Vista and I'm not in any rush to pick it up. I've been happy with XP Pro ever since the day I bought it. (I hated Windows ME but XP hasn't given me any problems)

This quote pretty much summarizes it:

Its kind of stupid having a poll with the title "Does vista suck?" Thats already inserting your opinion and encouraging others to vote yes.

It should have been "What do you think of Windows Vista ?" or something like that.
