There's a news article on Yahoo News about the most annoying things about Microsoft's new Windows Vista.

A short quote about one of the annoyances:
Yes, Mom, I Really Do Want to Install This Software One of the many prompts you'll have to navigate if you want to download a program in IE 7 and install it on your Vista PC.We often worry about Microsoft playing Big Brother, but now it's playing Big Mother, attempting to protect you from your own rash impulses to run new software. Try to download a program, and Internet Explorer will block it. ("It's for your own good. You can't be too careful, you know. Who knows where that program has been!") Unblock it, and IE will ask if you really, truly want to download the software. ("These programs can be dangerous, you know. I just don't want you to get hurt.")
