Where do you get that? They have pop ups for when something is trying to access your computer. Anyways, it will ask you once and that's it.

I tried it in its final beta stages @ work and this is what happened,

Download a file, confirm that I want to download it (2 Clicks)
Try to open a file, get told it might be dangerous, so I click Ok (2 Clicks)
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
