Everyone I know who uses vista has UAC turned off.. you are the only person I've ever seen post that the actually leave it on.

Its considered one of the "issues" with vista, and one that needed fixing badly.

You see it as sloppy programming.

I see it as UAC was a mistake on Microsoft's part, and most "in the know" people turn it off faster then you can say "Smith Micro".

Google disable UAC vista, and read some of the many MANY article posted about it. (I got over 4 million hits.)

I've yet to find one article that sings the praises of UAC, and recommends having it turned on.

But again, thats a personal opinion and choice.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
