This does not sound like something like Microsoft would do, so I was a little bit surprised. Apparently, the whole “reason” of UAC (User Account Control) was to push third-party vendors to make their code run securely, so their software use won’t display a prompt. Normally, I would be pissed off at Microsoft, but the fact that you can disable user account control holds me from letting it all out (which by the way might not be so pretty).

I actually find this to be a pretty good move on Microsoft’s part.This is one of the few times Microsoft tries to improve security in an effective way. I mean, the Windows XP firewall was a complete BUST! Lets hope Microsoft does these things more often.
