So, firsthand experience concerning the “Get a Mac Security Ad”:http://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/getamac/apple-getamac-security_480x376.mov is fun to go through. Sorta.

As I had to install all my games and such, I got the security pop-ups on a near constant basis. Grr, argh!

But as it is now, with things settling down, I haven’t been queried.

The “You must supply Administrator credentials” (or whatever the wording is) that I get when modifying files, deleting/removing items from the Programs list is a bit more irritating, mainly for the fact that the account I’m logged into at the time HAS administrator rights.

C’mon Vista, you should be smart enough to know that. Or! Instead of just giving me a dialog box to click Continue when you want me to supply Administrator credentials, ask for my password and only do such on “mission critical” items. Not the stupid empty game folder that didn’t get removed when I ran through the uninstall.

I need to admit though, the games that do work are running more beautifully now thanks to the upgraded system.
