Windows Vista: Secure Or Just Frustrating?

Modern systems such as d & 39; Mac OS X operating under one model, in which the safety of users of & 39; administration do not receive full access to certain functions, except that they do & 39; provide a direct recording, prior to abandonment, which could undermine the system. L & 39; installation of security protects users from, and c & 39; is something that should be added to Microsoft Windows, a few years ago.

Here is good news. In Windows Vista, Microsoft is indeed moving to this type of guarantee. The feature is called User Account Protection (UAP), and are waiting perhaps, & 39; prevent the implementation of administrative tasks of user & 39; potentially dangerous without first & 39; d ensure safety. Sounds good, right? Before you agree & 39; d, c & 39; is about us remember Microsoft. You have a royal chaos of & 39; UAP.

The bad news is that & 39; UAP is a sad, sad joke. It is unfortunate that most of the functionality of Microsoft software product ever, and yes, it implies that the ridiculous trombone older versions of Office & 39;. The problem with the EAP & 39; is that it generates an enormous number of & 39; warning pop-up tasks for even the simplest. The frequency with which these pop-up warnings for the same action would be comical if it is not so & 39; incredibly frustrating. One could almost laugh thinking of the millions of people rush in & 39; computer records & 39; l & 39; purchase of a new PC with Windows Vista preinstalled, or does not realize that & 39 they receive, it is almost in criminal procedure, in its list of & 39; background.

To fully appreciate Vista frustrating that the implementation of the EAP is really, we will be on a simple example. L & 39; One of the first things I would do if I made a new version of Windows to download and install Mozilla Firefox. With a view to presenting, for a moment, the number of warnings during the download process to install we still have a glaring problem. If Firefox is installed, there are two icons on my desk, I want to delete the program & 39; facility itself and a link with Firefox. I simply select the two symbols and drag them into the trash. That al & 39; seem simple, & 39; n is it not? False. Here& 39;s what you have, go even until & 39; to delete files in Windows Vista. While d & 39; First, you receive a file dialog Access refused to say you do not, in fact, the & 39; permission to remove a ... Shortcut? An application that you install & 39; d! Seriously? OK, fine. You can click on a button to perform this operation & quot;. & Quot; But this does not mean completely & 39; No matter what. It removes only for the Office in the next dialog, Windows security a window. Here, you must agree, somewhat opaque operation of & 39; File & quot;. & Quot; Allow Click, and you are ready. Hey, this & 39; n is not so bad, right? What & 39; s the big deal?

What if & 39; there is something & 39; a bit complicated? Well, happiness, dialogues battery on the right, one after the other & 39; in a seemingly endless desire, & 39; display of stupidity. Yes, sometimes, it lies in the inability of some & 39; things for the right reasons, then touches up & 39; Allow to what you are blue in the face. It will never cease to embarrass you, you d & 39; agreement to abandon and leave the file on the desktop where it belongs. This happens with you, and you are going to hate.

The problem with Windows Vista, security is implemented, as many warnings of the dialog security. Users receive all frustrated, and finally stop reading. They feel like they are expensive, one click is needed for a functioning working. Windows Vista is it really safer than the operating systems & 39; who preceded him, or simply more frustrating? Since Microsoft left us with no other choice but & 39; d & 39; buy a PC with Vista pre-installed, we are inevitably comes with it. Let frustration. rafaela kaila
