Microsoft Australia has defended the company's User Account Control (UAC) system as being "misunderstood" and said it should be the type of technology that all operating systems aspire towards.

You should learn the concept of ANYTHING ON MY #%&*&^$$%^& DESKTOP IS MINE!
Even if it is a link to a system level resource, the link is MINE.
This whole issue with UAC is that it is still making up for horrible design choices. There is nothing to discuss. It's a partial fix to a partial problem to a partially useable OS.

I've seen a lot of "highly technical" pro Microsoft talk here, but until you can answer this question with either technical(better be a good one) or security reason, UAC is just another piece of Microsoft trash for me:
Why can't I just rename my desktop icons in Vista without confirming?
Since 2000/xp we have Desktop per user. I'm changing a file on my home. Why the hell should I confirm?
