Run As Administrator does not work with UAC disabled

Hopefully Microsoft will listen to discussions like this and take notes

I hope so too - there have been some great discussions here as of late.

I see it as a way to force the Windows culture to change to a better
security model despite themselves.

Interesting way of putting it . I agree here - personally, I think after a
certain amount of time users will begin educating each other about this
feature and once it hits critical mass it will turn into a sort of paradigm
shift in the minds of users. Kind of like how before anti-malware and
anti-virus stuff was popular, it was a niche market, but once the internet
was part of pop culture everyone educated each other about it and it became
common knowledge.

With or without prompting for credentials, Vista makes the need for
administrative privilages transparent to the user and gives him the power
to deny those priviliages regardless of which account type he is using.
This is a step, but more needs to be done to prevent this type of betrayl
of trust.

I whole-heartedly agree. I wonder what Microsoft is cooking up for the next
version of Windows.
