New computer - I submit for peer review
jsalemi:
Or if you want the UAC protection, but hate the pop-ups, get TweakUAC and set it to silent mode.
And yes, I had to cave and put Vista on my laptop, since I need to learn it for work... <sigh>

LOL - Bang goes your Vista-free rating.
jsalemi:
Yea, all good things must come to an end...
(But my custom built, super-duper desktop computer is and will remain Vista-free for as long as possible. :) )
Revenge story about getting Vista: I was working from home yesterday, so I ran up to Best Buy to get the upgrade pack (Home Premium), which was listed on their website at $129 (I had a bunch of reward zone coupons I was planning to use). After waiting a while for a salesman to finally get it for me, since they don't keep it on the shelves (like people are going to actually try to steal it :)), and waiting in line, I got to the register and it kept ringing up @ $159. In spite of their web page saying that $129 was the price, and the sticker on the shelf in the store saying it was $129, the cashier and her boss kept insisting that $159 was the right price, so I told them to keep it and walked out.
Went on line a bit later and ordered it for pickup at the $129 price. Went to the store to get it later in the day, and had to wait a bit as the guy found someone with a key to the locked cabinet they had the pickup orders in. When he finishes the ring-up process, it turns out the in-store price is really $95, and that I also get a discount because of their guarantee that you'll get an in-store pickup item in a minute or less (didn't know about that one). So with the lower price, discount, and the reward coupons I had, the Vista upgrade cost me....
$35. :)

I grabbed that TweakUAC think. Cheers, Jsalemi!

Your computer does not have enough RAMz for Vista anyway. Just reformat it and install XP. Vista requires at least 8 GBs of RAMs to hit the breakeven point.
