In all fairness to the UAC, I agree certain people should have that turned on. Those people would include children, morons, and people who click "You are the 1,000,000th Visitor, Click Here!!!!" in a seizure inducing popup.

But for people who actually use computers, and know wtf they are doing, it is absolutely the most annoying feature of Vista. I left it on for my parents and their 10 year old kid on his laptop. My gf's and my machine (when i tried Vista) off after the first chance I got.

I think they did a good job of creating a dummy-AOL-like version of Windows to people who arn't technically strong.

MS gets a bad rap for anything they do, good or bad. Kinda like Nickleback.
