Vista security: incompatible with humans
Saturday, October 14th, 2006
With Windows XP service pack 1 having now gone gold (thank you, I’ll be here all week), Microsoft 
is ramping up focus on its new glass-flavoured-jellybean operating system.
There is a significant problem with Vista, however. More specifically, one of its features will spawn a whole new generation of what I call zombie clickers.
No, I’m not smoking anything.
When was the last time you fully read a dialogue box asking if you’re sure you want to, say, delete a file? Or a license agreement when installing a new piece of software?
You don’t. Hardly anyone does. You know what you’re trying to do, so you automatically hit ‘yes’. Your brain has programmed itself to do this, because you rarely, if ever, hit ‘no’.
This is what I call the zombie click. This form of autopilot serves to rid you, the user, of the pestering dialogue box that is inhibiting you from achieving your goal. APC Magazine » Vista’s security: incompatible with humans
