What about the Start, Run command. That is one of the first things I noticed
was "missing" when I installed Vista build 5600.

Hello,

I'm not sure if run as will be making an appearance later, I couldn't find
any information about it.

However, you can still use the runas command from the command prompt
(granted, it's alot more work, but it does work).

The simple syntax is:

runas /user:USERNAME "command"

example:

runas /user:Jimmy "control.exe"

Which would then prompt for my password, then if the password was correct,
run the command line.

There's some more advanced options available with this command as well.

Go to customize the start menu and you can change it there. You can find
this by right clicking on the toolbar and choosing properties. By default it
has been removed.

You can run commands from the textbox on the Start Menu itself.
