I recently did a TechNet webcast about the upcoming LUA Buglight 2.0.
You can view the webcast here, and download the slides here.
I hack up my Vista. I really do. In order to ensure that my users have a very nice experience, when I have a sucky, crappy old application, because the same brick walls I hit in XP running as a user are the same brick walls in Vista, I hack up the registry in Vista to ensure that the users don't have UACs ever time they open up the application.
But I'm looking forward to LuaBuglight 2.0

P.S. it's my opinion that I'm not lowering the security of the OS by taking the program files\Intuit and giving it full permissions. Given that the application demands the alternative that we run as administrator, making judicial permission changes balances the risk.
Intuit has now changed the way they program. But the reality is that I must have older versions inside my office. The risk of hacking up the registry of the OS is vastly superior to turning off UAC or runAs Administrator for that entire application, in my opinion.
