I just disabled UAC in Vista. UAC was annoying me. I'd open something completely harmless and it'd take seconds of my life to make sure the Control Panel was safe to run. I'm running Spybot and ZoneAlarm Firewall so I'm not worried.

It's not bad OS actually.

The control panel doesn't launch a UAC dialog. This is why I usually wonder what people are doing when they say "I get UAC prompts all the time." If you're installing software all the time, then no kidding. But if you're not doing anything else, then you shouldn't be getting it very often. I only get them when I attempt to diagnose a problem with a network adapter or add an exception to the Windows Firewall.

Windows 7 as with Vista was made for anybody over 65 or who had purchased their first computer from Best Buy, Circuit City etc...and maybe took an adult ed class to "learn the computer"...

So the vast majority of PC users. You could also put that label on most people that buy a Mac since they don't usually build those either. As someone that did build his own, I can tell you that while Vista isn't a huge improvement over XP (though 64-bit Vista did push manufacturers to start writing 64-bit drivers), Windows 7 has a lot of features that are well worth the upgrade. And that was just from using it for only an hour.
