Vista hasn't prompted me for anything after I went into User Accounts via the control panel and disabled UAC. You did reboot, right?
If you're talking about Security Center, there's an option on the bottom of the list on the left side of the screen that says "Change how security center alerts me" or something. Click the link and there should be checkboxes to turn off the alerts. Same as in XP.
You might get a balloon tip about windows updates, if you've set it to notify you when those are available. If you don't want that, er, turn off update notification. Same as in XP.
If it's something else I don't know what to tell you.

I haven't used Vista without SP1. Maybe that's why I don't blindly hate it?

what are you even talking about, vista will run fine on a computer that costs $300 now
if you're saying that the hardware that most people own now won't run vista well, yeah, i guess i might agree, but most of those people are happy with xp. if they want all of the whizbang features of vista its kind of ridiculous to claim they can get all that with some kind of investment
UI wise i feel like vista is actually snappier than xp, because the ui actually takes advantage of the co-processor that i've had in all my computer for literally years, leaving the CPU to do actual computing tasks that i might care about
the start menu is one of the things i really like, because i dont have to ever worry about sorting anything in that menu ever. win key and then type a few letters, that's how i launch programs. that or win+number for something on the quick launch. i just learned about that really recently and it's really handy
