"Amazing... don't use your PC without it!"
Pros: I've protected all my internet facing apps (IE, Outlook, Messenger), and now they're fully locked down. There seems to be absolutely no performance hit, which is great.
Nice UI, easy to use. I also like that as opposed to some alternatives, the locked down apps still run as "me", but without any admin powers, so all of my links and favorites are still there.

"A must have if you stay with Windows XP"
Pros: This new security tool is a must-have if you are sticking with Windows XP and not soon upgrading to Vista.
I am impressed by this inventive approach to securing Windows XP (I know I could run completely as a non-admin, but many of my programs will not work then). This program basically brings a new Windows Vista feature, Vista's User Account Control security, back down to Windows XP. And I bet that's a feature Microsoft is not planning to back-port themselves.
If regular anti-virus products worked so well, we wouldn't continue to have these big virus outbreaks. My removing PC admin rights from Internet applications, WindowZones basically knocks the teeth out of any virus that successfully makes it by your anti-virus software.
Cons: I'd like to see more notifications of when it stops an Admin action from occuring.

"why isn't it Vista compatible?"
Cons: I can't try it, Vista has been available to the public since November 2006 and as a pre release beta version prior to this.
