RE: How Windows 7 UAC shapes enterprise security

johnemartin25@... 12th Jun 2009

I would like to assign certain privileges for my wife and son and not have to worry about them grumbling about pop-ups every 30 seconds. I had a hard time making Vista understand that I the user was also the administrator. In Windows NT 4.0 I had no problems doing this. NT was a box around WIN 98 and to enter into the box you had to have the tools to work inside the box so to speak. Unless those who pour a foundation for a home can also set the pitch for the roof then he is adept to use all the tools, but for those who just pour the foundation I would like a say in Vista or Window 7 or whatever OS. I am just a regular home computer user able to configure my computer so I am the only one responsible for hosing it. Why can't Microsoft hear us, the consumer who holds the majority of ownership of any OS. Yes folks, security also belongs in the home. I reverted back to XP to silence the unrest Vista's UAC was causing. How does Microsoft win over the XP users? They need to dress like the homeowner, come to their level of thinking, not to take anything away from the IT people which is also a priority of Microsoft that needs to be addressed as well. Thanks for listening
