completely agree with Nigel and Dzomlija
to me most programmers are getting lazier and lazier...
MS codes their OS with certain features enabled if your (DEP for one....)
and that makes some programs not work....
in the ideal world DEP would be running for every app...
that would almost thwart every malware (almost i say about 95% the rest would be web based/social engineered...)
this leads me to believe the that this is the only reason why we havent run our apps and most installations ala linux style (you know what i mean...lol)
i would think that if MS enforced this earlier the would have avoided the backlash that happened with vista...
me thinks that this backlash would have been better off early since mac's were insanely uneconomical even at those standards ( it was cheaper to build a comparable pc [well then again you cant compare since there different archictures but its still valid you can do much more with a comparibly priced pc] and it was compatible with 80% of most programs out there...)
but then again its not only the programmers fault...
its also MS's fault for not strictly enforcing these guidlines
also its the users fault for buying software that forces you to be admin (or make the program run with admin status) for some reason or another
just my 2 cents (now i have 8 cents...)
