The Engineering 7 blog continues its trend of detailing the real issues that people deal with when it comes to Windows. We have already covered their insights, usage data, and mea culpas concerning the taskbar, as well as their musings on window management. The latest entry on the E7 blog deals with a controversial Windows issue: User Account Control. The usage data has some interesting results, to say the least.

Gee, you really believe everything Microsoft blogs about?
After so many years of Microsoft consistently proving that they don't care about their customers at all, you still fall for their bs?

All I know is that the people managing the Windows 7 team are not the people who managed the Vista release disaster. Sinofsky, and Green too, are people who have a track record of getting things done, and delivering on promises.
You can't reduce a 70000+ employee company to one entity. That's rather simplistic.
And, as the financial crisis is showing us once again - past results are not necessarily indicative of future results. This goes both ways.

No, but when I do, I don't get any stupid prompts and I'm in control of my system.
I only enter my password once and then I go about my administrative work.
You try to do that on Vista and you get blasted by endless UAC prompts until a brink of insanity.
