  Ars@PDC: Windows 7's streamlined UAC
Time: 04:02 EST/09:02 GMT | News Source: Ars Technica | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

One feature of Vista that came under more criticism than most was User Account Control. The feature, designed to make Windows more secure by both limiting the rights of Administrators and making it easier for regular Users to gain Administrator rights only when necessary, was deemed to be annoying and intrusive. As a result, some 10-15% of Vista users turn it off.

Vista SP1 smoothed a few of the more annoying UAC wrinkles, but retained the same fundamental mechanics. The two main problems with UAC:the screen going black momentarily whenever a confirmation prompt was displayed, and the need to reaffirm explicit user actions.
