Vista Logoff - No Confirmation

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!

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.
