Default UAC / Signed Drivers / etc. are a joke :(

Try VistaBoot Pro. There is a setting to allow
unsigned drivers to work. Have a look at the
screenshot below.

Ok, I cannot comprehend what Microsoft was thinking. I cannot install sound
drivers. I cannot install 3rd party applications that I paid for that
require driver installs. For example, Alcohol 120%. I used that to mount
images that I own the rights to. Guess what - no matter what I do or tweak,
Vista 64-bit will NOT allow it to install a driver. Same goes for Cubase.
I'm driving myself insane with this.

If this is how Vista is going to be, it is robbing me of my freedom to run
whatever I want. I am so sick and tired of all the prompts, the
restrictions, etc. I can't even hear sound because of the 64-bit version's
paranoia of unsigned drivers. There is NO way I will ever use Vista as an OS
if this is how it is. I'm sorry, I build my computer with my money and it is
my right to run the show how I'd like and install whatever drivers I want
risky or not.

I really don't understand this. It actually sickens me. Looks like I'll
either be sticking with XP for many more years or I'll have to try to pick up
Linux.
