Have we fixed all the vulnerabilities yet? That'd be nice :(

Can I vote for two things?
@singularity0821: A magnetised needle to your HDD though?
@JohnnyricoMC: It's a good thing I'm seeing how having my monitor rotated works out, after reading that post :P
@SpudDude: Indeed, it's well hidden, isn't it :\
@phillychuck: Yeah, all obscure programs are viruses, and a popular program has never done anything wrong. What a ridiculous "feature".
@Arnold Qin: I'm insulted, good sir!
@Chaim Chaikin: even then, most of it was driver stuff. I'm only really using SP1 as a landmark to time stuff off, rather than any fixes within it. I was fine with RTM, but my oh my were my nVidia using friends not. My oh my.
@dreimark: So you don't want to be able to disable hardware, run an antivirus, or have security? UAC is what turned XP's joke of a security system into something halfway decent.
@burnblue: We can be satisfied with something, or we can never be happy. Win7 could be better, but as it stands, it's pretty decent.
Yeah, I am. Not convinced it's much of an upgrade over Vista (actually, I'm pretty sure it's not. Very few kernel changes), but the new shell is superb, and well worth the price of entry. My mouse freezes up when my CPU is under load, though - never did that under vista.
@Chaim Chaikin: I was. Post-SP1 there was very little wrong with it.
@SpudDude: I totally agree, but apparently this simply isn't LH's decision to make. There's an option in your profile, but really it should be opt-in, not opt-out.
@Dean William Parmenter: Rainbow tables aren't really effective at all, unless you have a copy of the database.
@Philip Barnett: I did mention that Rainmeter wasn't shoddily programmed in the very next sentence, so if you can't be bothered to read my post, I shan't read yours :)
@sgtevmckay: Oh, don't worry, I'm not - I was a little worried somebody would take my statement the wrong way and shout me down, but by then I'd already sent it :)
@sgtevmckay: Ha, decoding a codebase is a bit too much for me to take on at the moment, I'm afraid. Maybe one day, when I'm less "oh god why am I even on lifehacker I have too much work and too little time" :P
@sgtevmckay: Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not bashing the software - it's easy to see how much of an accomplishment it is. It's, quite simply, not for me. I have the utmost respect for everybody involved in it's development, as well as the application itself - however I'm by no means an "artistic" person, so…
@sgtevmckay: Hmf. That sounds like a challenge :P
@bendenfield: That's just an excuse for not making something user-friendly enough for someone to pick up quickly. Nothing wrong with that, but don't pretend it's /meant/ to be difficult.
