NonsenseYou shouldn't need different partitions. The system files should just belong to root and the user should not have a root account. Unix has had it right for decades, but MS still fucked up at copying it.
The Vista start menu is terrible, they messed up explorer, notepad still can't deal with unix line endings, You still get that retard 'Find program using web service' dialog when you open a file with an unknown extension, it churns through the hard disk like crazy for no apparent reason etc. etc.

I think most of thatis personal issues with you not liking the way things are done. You only know of different ways by using different products.
It works fine for me. When I can have every piece of software I need and use running perfectly on my unix box I might start treating it as more than an interesting experiment.
You don't need separate partitions, I'm just stating that this is a way of making Vista less annoying by it requiring permissions from you before it does something that might be harmful on the root disk.

If they did copy Unix's permissions systemno old Windows software would work at all. That wouldn't go down well.
The Vista start menu (and in a similar fashion, Firefox 3's bookmarking system) is far superior to XP's in my experience. So much so that I had to install Launchy on XP because the Start Menu seems so backward.
