Here at OSNews I have hammered and hammered on a few times already about the major flaw in Windows 7's default User Account Control, which allows people or software with malicious intent to completely bypass UAC in such an easy manner that you wonder why UAC is there in the first place. Well, the source code to this flaw has been released - since Microsoft has made it clear they have no interest in fixing it anyway - and Long Zheng, fellow advocate of fixing this bug, made a very clear demonstration video.

Wow, the source code is out!
So what? Any programmer worth their salt knows exactly how this is done anyway. Releasing the source code isn't going to change anything.
Why does osnews keep going on about this? Mark has already explained why this isn't considered a flaw. What makes osnews better qualified than Mark?
