yah they pulled out when winvista got released because UAC would take a shit on it

although most winblows users are retards and would click yes on the UAC anyways

uac was the best thing to happen to windose in terms of security

"The remaining 20 million CDs,[7] spanning 50 titles,[8] contained SunnComm's MediaMax CD-3, which was installed on either Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X systems after the user was presented with an EULA, regardless of whether the user accepted it"

fucking diabolical

uac is a glorious security measure but it would have been so much better if they would have made it better than a big annoying prompt that you press 'yes' or 'no' to

is there any other way to do it that is retard-friendly

the problem is dumbasses press "yes" almost 100% of the time regardless of context when it pops up

the prompt is nothing but the program's name and 'yes' or 'no' so its confusing to users that don't understand what they're running
