Does anyone else have issues with the Log Off button in the start menu
not having a confirmation box? I cannot find any group policy to force
it to confirm logging off either.

There is no confirmation anymore - it was a pointless waste of time for a
user to select to logoff or shutdown an XP system then then be asked again
what they want to do.
You are now assumed to be competent and that when you click to shutdown that
is what you want to do , since you have to actively select one button then
from a menu.

Am I the only one just getting so frustrated with people complaining about
Vista nanny'ing them with UAC etc and then they complain that they do not
have to confirm an action they selected themselves?

Why do you need double confirmation when you want to shutdown or
logoff or any of the other choices you're presented with?

You click on Start, you hover over the little arrow and a menu appears
asking what you want to do.

I bet you're one of those dolts that switches the lights off in a
room, then switches them back on again, just to make they were off.
Right?
 
Many people want "selective" confirmations. They we would have thousands of
posts here as how to configure *that* function!

Justin, yo should not post using this name here. You MAY be mistaken for
another Justin that is already here.

No you are not the only one lol.

Absolutely correct. It is yes or no, 0 and 1, On or Off, it's about options
for people to select.

Are they using fresh graduates now and all the gurus left to Google or
retired?

Are you kidding? I'm so sick and tired of older versions of Windows
asking "Are you sure?" every time I click something that I was
absolutely delighted to see this nag gone. After all, it's not like
it's possible to click "Log Off" accidentally.

It's certainly an improvement.

Well...., I don't think that assumption goes quite far enough, but it
is an improvement, to be sure.

I daresay that the OP is perfectly entitled to use whatever name he
likes, so long as he's not trying to impersonate anyone else. As for
being mistaken for another "Justin," so what? The only people who have
an imaginary beef with that "Justin" are trolls whose opinions don't
carry any significant weight.

EXACTLY! I can't say how great this is that you can't hit close, restart,
etc. by mistake. Lord only knows how many times I had wanted to put a
computer (PC or MAC) to sleep and because maybe my attention was slightly
pulled away I hit close or something. It takes 2 seconds to hit that second
menu for what you want, if having to waste those 2 seconds is a problem then
someone really needs to slow down their life a bit.

Sure he has every right to use it.
