Amid the hullabaloo about how intrusive Vista's User Account Control feature will be to the average user, Microsoft has been quietly ramping up the support infrastructure needed to help companies adopt it. eWeek Labs' work with UAC shows that more work lies ahead, however. With Vista's UAC, Microsoft has finally gotten serious about securing the Windows operating system by limiting a user's rights during day-to-day computer usage. UAC also finally brings the Windows operating system up to speed with just about every other major operating system available today. UAC enables the concept of LUP (least user privilege), where users run with limited privileges for the bulk of their interaction with the desktop.
