Some applications, like One Care, System Save Point, System Restore, only work if you are logged in as Administrator. I have a user ID set up with all permissions (Vista Ultimate), and the above applications lock the machine until you pull the power plug. Yeah, it's that bad.

VS.NET 2005 is one of many applications that appear to not be cancellable. I have even tried to kill it from the task manager.

Perhaps it is because I have seen so many methodologies that hurt rather than help the process, I can't help but to think that in his early years, Albert Einstein was ridiculed and mocked. It is likely, that his relativistic views would not have been certified by the physicists of the day.
