For Windows 7, Microsoft has made some changes to User Account Control to counter the criticism that UAC was too intrusive. It didn't take long before several holes were poked in Windows 7's default UAC settings, and now one is left to wonder: is it wise to sacrifice security for (perceived?) usability? Ars has an editorial that deals with this question.

A lot of stability bugs were fixed in the NT4 service packs and tons of improvements were made for Windows 2000 and even more for XP and then 2003. I'll agree that NT4 shipped with a lot of issues at RTM, but that's not indicative of the system today.
