It's true that they did this, but a workaround has already been found out.

I was planning on getting a full version, but now I'm reconsidering.

I just got done earlier this evening with setting up my brother-in-law's brand-spanking new Gateway he bought from Best Buy ::)
Vista's "security features" they've implemented will quickly cause more problems, IMO, than it's trying to fix. I got SO tired of the constant "this is trying to do "X", do you want to continue or cancel", I quickly stopped caring what the boxes said and clicked "continue" as soon as they popped up.
Think about this. Some clown thinks it's funny to spread a virus, and figures out a way to make it look innocuous to JoeDolt so that they do the same thing. "Jeez, just CONTINUE already and leave me alone!". They WILLINGLY choose to infect themselves because they've gotten so pissed off at the constant "OMGAREYOUSURE?!?!?!?" that they stop paying any attention to what those boxes really say.
Yeah, it's the user's fault, but everybody should be able to understand how big a PITA this can and will quickly become.
Tailgunner:
No rush to get it here, I'll wait till I buy a new system or they've released the first service pack for it.
