Microsoft: UAC not a security feature
Sunday, February 18th, 2007
For those who thought the User Account Control (UAC) feature introduced in Windows Vista was intended to set security boundaries, 
Microsoft has made a clarification: it isn’t. The message is attracting criticism from security experts, one of whom said it made features such as UAC seem like nothing more than a "joke".
The most direct communication about UAC to date came on Monday from Mark Russinovich, a Technical Fellow in Microsoft’s Platform and Services Division, who joined the company when it bought Russinovich’s Winternals Software. Russinovich is a noted developer of Windows utilities and is credited with being the first to discover the rootkit in Sony BMG’s copy-protection software.
