QUOTE: UAC was introduced with Vista and was widely maligned due to its in-your-faceness, and though it's calmed down some as Vista has been updated, it seems to have really hit its stride in Windows 7. I like UAC a lot.  But even in its imperfect form, it was a good idea, attempting to brighten the terribly blurry line between administrative tasks and user tasks that has plagued Windows since the early days.
