...it's probably be because of a new "feature" in Windows. VISTA will automatically remove software that it doesn't like, and who knows what that may be? Photos, 3rd-party apps, competitor's products...? From the [a href="vny!://download.microsoft.com/documents/useterms/Windows%20Vista_Ultimate_English_9d10381d-6fa8-47c7-83b0-c53f722371fa.pdf"]VISTA End User License Agreement[/a]:
[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]"POTENTIALLY UNWANTED SOFTWARE. If turned on, Windows Defender will search your computer for "spyware," "adware" and other potentially unwanted software. If it finds potentially unwanted software, the software will ask you if you want to ignore, disable (quarantine) or remove it. Any potentially unwanted software rated "high" or "severe," will automatically be removed after scanning unless you change the default setting. Removing or disabling potentially unwanted software may result in
· other software on your computer ceasing to work, or
· your breaching a license to use other software on your computer.
By using this software, it is possible that you will also remove or disable software that is not potentially unwanted software.

Gee, thanks Microsoft. As if you weren't trying to f*ck people over bad enough by charging $400 for an operating system, now YOU'LL get to decide what will be "allowed" on my computer? I don't think so. Time to switch to [a href="vny!://www.ubuntu.com/"]Linux[/a].
