Hmm...
"UAC is totally useless on accounts in Windows 7 beta with admin privileges"

Isn't that exactly the same as Vista?

Fortunate then that this isn't the default, isn't it?

Sorry, the UAC is an imperfect implementation  nilotpal_c | 02/04/09
It's obvious you don't know much about UAC.  ye | 02/04/09

Thanks. My Vista system is HP so I don't have faxing...  ye | 02/04/09
I agree with Ye,  sqr(cos(180)) | 02/04/09
