Hi Shaun, Well, when installing lots of applications or for trouble shooting purposes the UAC prompt is down right annoying. In that case I say turn the Vista UAC confirmation off for a while. However, it is rather helpful if viruses and other harmful pieces of software attempt to take control of your system or damage it. In that case the UAC confirmation can be the diference between stopping a harmful piece of software cold or having your Windows system fried. Take your pick. Bottom line one of the reasons Microsoft has the UAC confirmation on is to try and idiot proof the operating system from the general public which doesn't know jack about system security. For example, most Windows XP users blindly run XP as administrator day in and day out. The way to make XP more secure is create an admin account for software installs, etc, and create yourself a limited user account for day to day use. Tell most general XP users that and they will likely ask you what's the difference, or say I didn't know that. I hate to be sinical here, but bottom line most of the general computer users I have met know how to get on the internet, read his or her email, run MS Word, and beyond that don't know anything else about their computer. It is those people that Microsoft has to worry about, because they are the first to scream my computer doesn't work and I don't know what to do. They would have not likely been in that situation in the first place if they had actually took the time to read some computer manuals or attended a few computer classes. However, you don't want to get me started on those lazy people who buy software and don't read the manuals, and then come asking for help rather than looking up the answer in the manual. Sorry, I am getting off the point about games and Vista.So let's get back to the original topic. Cheers.
