| Guest | UAC not a "security boundary." Does anyone know, why MS does not consider UAC to be a security boundary? And what are the trade-offs involved with making it one? Is it not possible to make it a security boundary? It seems kinda anti-customer to say "if we find a security exploit in our code (in UAC) we won't fix it," doesn't it? I wish this would be fixed in Windows 7, but I admit I don't understand all the issues involved, so any help would be nice. |
