Microsoft plans to make several significant tweaks to the next beta of Windows Vista to make a key security feature less annoying to users. In response to widespread criticisms that the implementation of the UAC (User Account Control) feature triggers too many privilege elevation prompt pop-ups, the software maker will make changes in Windows Vista RC1.

I cant believe how privilege elevation prompt pop-ups has received so much criticism. If your changing something system-wide, you should need some administrative privileges to do so, end of story. If you're changing your local account settings then you shouldnt get a prompt for a password, end of story. How did this get so complicated? If it inconveniences the user, well too bad, its for their own good. Microsoft wont loose marketshare over this.
