Can Microsoft Make Vista Less Annoying? | |
|
||
| Time: 00:15 EST/05:15 GMT | News Source: PC Magazine | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Microsoft plans to make several significant tweaks to the next beta of Windows Vista to make a key security feature less annoying to users. In response to widespread criticisms that the implementation of the UAC (User Account Control) feature triggers too many privilege elevation prompt pop-ups, the software maker will make changes in Windows Vista RC1 (Release Candidate 1). By default, current versions of Windows configure most user accounts as a member of the administrator group, giving users all system privileges and capabilities. This allows users to install and configure applications and make system changes, but it presents a serious security risk because malware writers could take complete control of an exploited system. | ||
