In a discussion mostly centered around User Account Control, this episode focuses on Vista's default behavior of prompting for admin security when it sees an executable with "setup", "install" or "uninstall" is in the filename.

This podcast discusses Vista performance features including SuperFetch and ReadyBoost. Everyone knows Windows Vista has some higher recommended requirements, but it does so responsibly with performance enhancing features that take full advantage of what your PC has to offer. Also covered are the junctions in Windows Vista (those rather frustrating shortcuts that report “Access Denied” when you click on them).
This podcast discusses both the Program Compatibility Wizard (for manually specifing compatibility needs) and the Program Compatibility Assistant (for automatic detection of compatibility problems). Both are intended to help you run programs not designed for Windows Vista and with varying degrees of success can be very helpful if you run into problems getting some of those older programs to work.
