"Here, Jon Schwartz, UAC Architect, and Chris Corio, UAC Technical Program Manager, discuss, in detail, the history of UAC, the architecture and design of UAC, the new security model of Vista (we are all standard users, gone are the days of running as admin by default on Windows), what happens when a UAC security dialog is invoked, how UAC impacts developers, how UAC will evolve, etc."

"once, a PC is setup you should not get prompts." That was the way it was supposed work, but in reality all it does is annoy people with warnings over trivial things. The annoyed people will turn it off, and any extra security it offered will be gone. There is a word for something that does not work: FLAWED.

So, you use Vista do you? Can you please give me some examples of the "trivial things" you are constantly being warned about? Myself I get a UAC prompt when installing new software, and when changing certain system configuration settings that are definitely not trivial.

how is it flawed??
once, a PC is setup you should not get prompts. unless something that requires elvated rights. UAC runs at a very low level so it can control what excutes. and I am sure UAC will get better as all the feedback will get pushed back as updates to the UAC logic.
