   Bob, Dale, Matt, et alia,   
      
   I bought my brothers Vista Basic notebook when he got a W7 box.   
      
   At first UAC made me think: Why is it asking me IF I Want To Do This?   
   Now I just read the UAC screen and tell it O.K. and do what I wanted   
   to do.   
      
   I can't remember if UAC ever has popped up on its own because it saw   
   something wanting to be changed and asking if it was O.K. to allow.   
   Therefore I feel like it is a good feature.   
   I've adjusted to UAC appearing on the screen, and just thinking about   
   it, every program I use expects me to do things THEIR WAY.   
      
    BK>  One problem can be lack of drivers for an older system.   
      
   Or the Company isn't in business anymore to issue any newer drivers.
