Users of Sony Ericsson PC Suite beware that there is no Microsoft Windows Vista version, at least not yet. The installer comes up and tells you that Windows 2000 or Windows XP is required and exits. I have asked Sony Ericsson if it will be made compatible.

Windows Vista Security Model Lame

I have been asked quite a few times about what I think of Windows Vista. I must say it is not too shabby, although one of the most annoying “features” is the approach to security. The approach is comically highlighted in the attached advertisement for Macintosh here. The approach is counter productive, and for anyone not familiar with computer security will be become inneffective after 10 or so clicks of “Allow”. It is a flawed model, however Microsoft can put their hands on their hearts and say “we made the PC more secure”.
