One extra click everytime you start up the PC is bad :P
That's like... Uncountable times for me

I think the reason MS made it that annoying was to force software vendors to fix their code so that they stop doing things that require Admin rights unless they absolutely need to. I guess they underestimated the annoyance factor it would cause to some of their users.

Windows CD/DVD burning has always been poor. You should always use a 3rd party utility. I have had no problems burning an ISO to a DVD using ImgBurn.
I believe I experimented with running all programs as admin (compatibility mode), but it didn't work out in the end.
Quite. They admitted as much.
What does that mean? Does that mean installing Windows anew?
If yes, then should be no ill effects.

The NTFS driver is reversed engineered. Sure it works, but it's not perfect, propper write support is fairly recent (last 2 or so years).
Don't worry too much, my 2 media drives are NTFS.

Ok, I'm now on Ubuntu And... I ain't quite sure how I installed it... I think Vista didn't let me install Ubuntu into Vista "Install Ubuntu just like any other application" as it said, so I made a new partion and installed there... Well, from just looking at Ubuntu, it seems nice enough... Didn't take any faster to start than Vista, but it looks exstremely easy to use... Like, I can get into adminstration just by pressing one button, instead of the Windows, complicated thing... But I'll have to look more into this, and really check if I like it
Oh and btw, I see nothing of the good freedom Linux is supposed to give...
EDIT: Ah! Doesn't Linux support .exe files o.o? I can't open them, it's saying something about, that it ain't a .zip file or something...

Seems to me like you jumped on the band wagon before realising what a band wagon was or where it's going

Huh? Install gcc-dev (or just gcc, perhaps) and run gcc on the command line. It should just work.

Aha! ... If only I knew where the command line was :P
And I DLed GCC through SVN, and it has alot of files, which one to run?

Most likely under Start->System->Console or something very similar.Aha! ... If only I knew where the command line was :P
None, of course. You downloaded the source code. You want a proper release version, which you get through Ubuntu's package manager.And I DLed GCC through SVN, and it has alot of files, which one to run?
