I'd agree which is why on a Vista or 7 system I turn off UAC.

I'd agree, except I've got use to it.
It must be better, to adopt the Linux way of doing it, to ask for "permission" to do any important changes to the PC. This helps prevent unauthorised access to your computer. So it asks "are you sure you want this to run. Is it your program." If I don't recognise it, it's a virus etc. Linux also asks for permission to install and change things. It means less slips through, and even legit programs cannot trick the customer into installing addware.

However, I have found it's troublesome with the transition. As older programs are not expecting Windows to complain, and do not use the correct file folders. So you get programs wanting to save settings in "program files/ini" instead of "my documents/ini" and windows blocking it.
I don't know how it worked in Vista. But in Windows 7 it's easy enough to click "yes" or "add admin rights/use xp compatibility".

Since its already been hacked along with Safari it shows how safe it is because safari is awful for safety  The bad guys always are one step ahead.
