Chris Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 It seems like everyone, other than possibly Microsoft's Vista team itself, seems to believe that the User Account Control (UAC) in Vista already needs an overhaul. The question is, who is going to do it? And what form will it take?UAC has given some Microsoft and third-party applications incompatibility fits. It's also leading to problems for some users trying to write to an external hard drive. So who will step up and take the UAC fix-it challenge? Will it be Microsoft itself? A security consulting firm? A Microsoft competitor, like Symantec, which has said it is interested in delivering an alternative to UAC? Or perhaps a more neutral third-party software vendor? The most sensible answer, of course, would be for Microsoft to step in and revamp UAC so that fewer customers shut it off and risk security problems in order to rid themselves of automatic pop-up annoyances.More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Microsoft's fix - an update that makes it invisible to users (i.e. changes a registry key.) I thought companies like Symantec already had similar solutions to this fix. Except most security suites call it program control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
