1. Comment - Microsoft: Please Don't Disable UAC

   (Jun 29, 2006 - 7:55 AM)

   Kudos to MS for giving you the option to turn UAC off. I think turning it off would be a horible thing, but at least it is there.
   
   As one who generaly does not like MS's products, I still can at least give them credit when and where it is due. Folks, Vista is still Beta, therefore things are not going to work correctly..HELLO. Be fair about your comments people.
   
   I have no doubt that UAC will work well with all of MS's products by release time, its third application devs you should all be pointing your frustration to. They still write, debug, and release thier apps as power user or administrator. Which kills essential functionality when you are a restricted user.
   
   UAC is a great thing and I hope that it remains. I am glad to see that MS is seriouse about security and UAC gets them closer to having a very secure system.
   
   Oh and to the commenter that accuses MS of stealing this idea. UAC is an idea that has been around in the *NIX world since it's birth, but it is a concept and is meant to be adopted by everyone who makes an OS. MS is not claiming (at least not that I have ever heard) that they invented it.
