The User Account Control (UAC) feature that debuted with Vista was a security safeguard that asked users for permission before allowing applications to run. The nagware technology irked users and was blamed for producing numerous largely meaningless pop-ups that users blithely clicked past.
Oh I see how this works...
First have UAC, bark about how annoying it is.
Ok, tone UAC down...
NOW bark about how “less safe” Windows 7 is!
Send to a notorious MS bash site, summon Apple fanatics, bash Windows 7.
How idiotic.
First time I got on Vista I couldn’t believe all the UAC messages.
How it got past the testing/validation people without review is beyond me.
