SoftwareInReview reviews Windows Vista, and concludes: "I took down my Mandriva workstation and replaced it with my Vista test machine and tried to work normally for a day. I found it difficult to get good desktop software applications for affordable prices, I had trouble getting my Microsoft mouse to work properly, the unintuitive and strangely rearranged interface drove me crazy, and the system's poor performance was intolerable." Elsewhere, El Reg has more on the file deletion problems in Vista.

if WoW requires admin privileges on their directories in Program Files, why not just modify the permissions on just those directories? Why do you have to give them local admin rights?
I could understand if it needed admin rights to the registry, but according to the author it's the program files directories.
I don't own the program, so I don't know if he's correct.
But in past employment where an app required admin priv to a certain directory, we'd leave the user a user and just gave them full control over that directory.
