Not too long ago, we ran a story informing you of how the auto-elevation feature in Windows 7 is broken in a way that allows malicious programs to silently gain administrative privileges. We wondered if Microsoft was ever going to fix this one before Windows 7 goes final, and even though we're not there yet, a recent article by Mark Russinovich seems to imply pretty strongly that no, Microsoft is not going to fix this.

Microsoft is incapable of fixing UAC. They get the bottom of the barrell coders, all the good ones go to Google or Apple. Their development team is inferior, I know a three year old that can code better than the Wndows team.
This is another reason why Windows 7 will be a trainwreck and Mac OS X and Linux will take over the IT world.
Microsoft should just step aside and let the professionals code OS software, they are incapable and unable to do any decent design work with Windows.
