"Microsoft has gone out on a limb to promote Vista not merely as 'the most secure version of Windows ever' (every recent version is marketed with that tired slogan), but for the first time as an adequately secure version of Windows. 'We've got the message and we've done our homework', the company says. So let's see if the reality lives up to the marketing hype."

They ask for so many things because so many apps are designed so poorly that these apps ARE accessing system files, or protected parts of the registry, etc...
Absolutely true, however the correct way to deal with this is not to ask every time a violation occurs but just to deny the access.
If a broken application can just keep on being broken, why should a vendor change it?
Better let some applications be recognized as broken instead of rendering the operating system's security systems meaningless.
