I do, but I want an option like in XP that will force a login on one
account (I've got a network, so I enabled the guest account, and now it
always wants me to choose who to login as.....) As for UAC, I prefer
having it on, so that if something's running that I didn't tell to run,
I can disallow access to it.

I've got the quad core monitor, weather, the calendar, and the analog
clock (which I still miss from the days of Windows 3.0 with the analog
clock screen saver (hint, hint to all you programmers out there!!)
