Tom, have you even seen or worked with Vista, specifically UAC? You have strong opinions about Vista but it doesn't sound like you're speaking from present knowledge. Just curious here.
To clear one thing up, Vista WILL NOT come with UAC turned off on ANY box. An app can't auto-elevate itself. It runs in the "sandbox" given and if it needs to do something with elevated needs, UAC will stop it and ask you if it is ok. One last thing (Jacob Munson), Vista can't be compared to a virus protection application (Norton's, etc). That is what they do...manage virus definitions. Vista is the OS. If Vista has a hole, MSFT will fix it. If a new virus comes out, MSFT will update One Care's virus definitions (a virus protecting program).
