Apparently Microsoft said it would undermine the purpose of UAC - it would
be too easy for malware to put itself onto the "don't prompt" list.

Absolutely not. Nobody "needs" to disable it. If you're using programs
that generate UAC prompts they are BADLY WRITTEN and fail to comply with the
XP programming guidelines (yes, I said XP, not Vista). The only exception
is software which is designed to perform system administrative tasks, in
which case you really should log on as an administrator anyway (and then you
just get the confirmation prompt - a single mouse-click or left-arrow,
Enter).
If you are using day-to-day applications which generate UAC prompts it's
probably time to update them.
