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

   (Jun 30, 2006 - 1:59 PM)

   I don't get it. Mac OS X users don't seem to cause a fuss, and this has been part of the operating system since the first version of OSX. Microsoft is finally biting the bullet and introducing a much needed security feature that is available on almost every modern os available/used by the masses. There was a time when virus scanners and firewalls were considered resource hogs and shut down right away. Now they're a part of life. Hopefully Windows users can understand the benefits of the approach taken by MS for the security of their own machines. I've used the MS Vista Beta 2 since it was made public, and I must say the popups are really not that inconvinient, and at least provide a well presented dialog to the user about the task that is requesting more access than is currently allowed with the user's security level. It's about time.
