Partially correct.  I have not used Vista.  However, the comments I posted
were taken from an article written by someone who had been using Vista,
someone who has been very pro-Windows.

Sorry, Rich, OS-X does prompt once for each Administrative task, not
several times throughout the task as the article I quoted indicates about
Vista.

In the rush to get Vista out the door eventually, it is looking like many
short cuts have been taken and are continuing to be taken; resulting in,
among other things, the annoying behavior of endless prompts cited in the
article I quoted.

The comments I have been seeing from Windows cheerleaders about Vista's
shortcomings and unmet promises are growing in number and volume.  If you
don't like that, then you perhaps you should listen to what they are saying
and get your employer to fix the problem.  Unfortuantely that may mean even
more delays for Vista which so far has had the gestation period of an
elephant.  Vista will probably be as bulky with it is finally born.
