Have you seen Apple Computer's latest Macintosh commercial? It's the one where the Mac guy and the PC guy are trying to have a conversation, but Windows Vista's user-account control guy gets in the way by asking "allow or deny?" for every exchange.

While that may be a humorous oversimplification of how security works with Vista, it does drive home a point: Vista does put a great deal of burden on the end user to decide if something is safe or not. Of course, Apple's answer is to buy a Mac and avoid all of that hassle.
