If you have UAC (User Access Control) enabled, that is quite true. However, you are supposed to be able to disable UAC and then have it act like any other previous version of Windows.
Does not seem to be true.
Also, in trying to install a network printer, I have had zero success. I cannot get the installer to use my local driver on Vista. It insists on trying to install from the remote computer, which is a Windows 2K box, and of course, fails miserably.
I also ran into an instancing issue with IE. This one is wierd.
Open up two instances of IE. Have both of them set to a WEB page which requires input (two different sites, which use Java)). I can type in the input, no problem. But when I use the mouse to try and press the button to send the input, it is ignored. I can do anything else, but send the input. If I shutdown the second occurance of IE, the other one will work as it should.
I have tabbing disable in IE7.
