Re: Good Lord, did they hire Vista programmers?
Vista wasn't stopping you run software, it was telling you it was doing potentially dangerous things. Part of the issue was Windows programs were notoriously awful for security at the time, expecting admin privileges, writing files and registry keys in the wrong place etc.
It's a shame that Microsoft didn't do this with many of their applications. Data files in the Program Files path? All the damn time. Not acceptable.
