So I don't have to wait for Windows 7?
The need to wait or upgrade to Windows 7 is looking more dim for Windows Vista users. Microsoft just yesterday announced their intention to improve the user experience for UAC in Windows 7. But with third party company's such as Symantec aiming to fix UAC now, a lot of what Microsoft is promising as an upgrade is looking less interesting. I am sure 7 will present new improvements, but do I really need to invest in a brand new version of Windows to get all of them? I don't think so too.
