Vista - Vista User Account Control

I wouldn't exactly say they are poorly written since Vista in general is
poorly written and has many programs running as admin. I would say that it is
Microsoft trying to bully developers into certification.

It is pointless to argue with these people . The fact is is that this is a
big flaw and they do not want to admit it. People will be disabling the User
account control just because they have software running on their
own(emphasize 'their own' )computers that they feel is neccessary and are
sick and tired of being nagged everytime they log on.
