[QUOTE="wirelessmacuser, post: 1005965, member: 136479"] Actually Windows 7 _does_ have this sort of prompt. In fact it has 12 dedicated prompts designed to keep the system secure. It was also a feature in Vista. Microsoft improved it and gave even more flexibility and ease of use to the system administrator in Windows 7. . As far as Autodesk building a Mac version of their apps. Its simple economics, with only 8% of all computers running OS X, it makes no sense to devote time & resources to port it for Mac. Yes I agree, it would be nice, but there is no chance of it anytime soon. . We love our Macs, and they have a lot of superior features. But we must accept that it's a niche computer. If they were a mainstream product Steve Jobs would not have been so quick to rename the company. He's a very sharp guy and realized that since they weren't getting anywhere with "Apple Computer Inc" he took the company to "Hollywood" which was a brilliant move. Building on what the mainstream & tech press has dubbed the "halo effect" Steve capitalized on the iPod success, created the entertainment based iPhone and renamed the company "Apple Inc". By disposing of "Apple Computer" he has since focused on building a new public image and reaped the profits. A great move. Sell music, videos, and the devices to play that media. Brilliant! [/QUOTE]
