Missing the true impact of Vista UAC
Saturday, July 8th, 2006
There were plenty of stories last week about Microsoft’s plea to not turn off Vista’s UAC security 
feature and plenty of criticism that UAC is dead before Vista even arrives. Not only is this foolish because UAC is still being refined, but it’s missing the bigger picture of how the new security feature protects and benefits all Windows users.
Vista’s UAC has already had some improvements under the Beta2 build of Vista. For example, the task manager will now run under a standard user context with administrative capabilities disabled whereas earlier builds of Vista would have demanded administrative escalation before the task manager even launches. Future builds of Vista will streamline UAC even more and Microsoft’s ultimate goal is to never have any UAC prompts for all normal system operations. ยป Missing the true impact of Vista UAC | George Ou | ZDNet.com
