I'm guessing a hint of this fact was in Gates' mind when he said "Ask me when the next Windows gets shipped" ~ he must dislike Vista too.

Must be Microsofts take on Linux Application Management. Ha-Ha.

RE: Vista's UAC security prompt was designed to annoy you
Now, if a large software company would do something like:

Quote:Installation Instructions
...

Please disable UAC before installing this product.  To do so ...


Why disable UAC?
UAC, as stated by Microsoft, is a measure designed to annoy users, as well as applications.  As such, our software cannot operate under these conditions.  Contrary to popular belief, UAC does not protect users or prevent any security threats.
