| | Microsofts worst nightmare While Microsoft officials won’t say it (at least not publicly), one of Windos 7’s main selling points is likely to be that it’s the “anti-Vista.” It will be faster, smaller, more reliable and… less secure?

| | Make UAC default to 'Always Notify'. You turn it down at your own risk. Maybe a warning the first time you turn it down. If you want a secure system, turn it on. If you don't mind dealing with an infected system or your feelin' lucky, turn it down. Gary |

| | I agree. Though personally, UAC was a hassle when it was new but once you've gotten used to it, it's actually a good way to let you know that you're about to do some modifications to your system. Using Windows 7 without the UAC bugging you that much is quite weird coz you're kinda waiting for it when you know you're doing some stuff  I'm curious as to how Microsoft think tanks can position Windows 7 on this issue and how it will affect the final release. Good luck to us |

As Barman so rightly pointed out in another post it compares to locking your car, it would be most amusing to see articles in the paper putting car manufacturers down because peoples cars are being stolen as they have only locked 2 from 4 doors |

| | well, look at any operating system just about. the bulk of our work after rollout and configuration tend to be operator induced "finger problems" in situation where client has gone against advice. life is a series of choices, you make them and live with the consequences. |

| | In all honesty, I find that the casual PC user really does not mind UAC that much at all. It's mostly us folk who are more PC saavy, coming from XP and whatnot. But I'm pretty sure most people buying their first PC had no problem with UAC, or at least thats what I can tell from my experience with friends. I did find it annoying though. Actually, it was just the dimming of the screen more than anything, it would take a while for my screen to dim. I don't mind the prompts at all. |
