UAC good. SPP not so good

Sunday, October 8th, 2006

In the midst of a post about Microsoft’s new viral marketing campaign for Windows Vista (which I Windows Vista 033.jpgwrote about last night), Dwight Silverman tosses off this aside:

Whether [the Demetri Martin campaign] will be enough to get consumers to pony up the bucks for a Vista upgrade, and once they have it, make them forget such irritants as the User Account Control and the Software Protection Program, remains to be seen.

I just want to go on the record here with my thoughts that these two features should not be mentioned in the same breath. UAC is without a doubt a feature that was designed to provide a benefit to Windows users. We can quibble about the way it works, but not about the goals behind it. UAC good. SPP not so good. | Ed Bott’s Windows Expertise
