I think that when Vista first comes out many early adopters will turn off
UAC. I agree this is a shame but it is a reality. As new computers are
purchased by people who are not early adopters but just average consumers
buying a computer this may change. The vast majority of these people will
not be able to figure out how to turn it off. They will phone their OEM
supplier, software comany, or whomever they can find a phone number for for
support when things don't work. Eventually this will cause companies to make
their products work with UAC. It will probably take a few years. This has
been the pattern in the past when new versions of Windows broke old
applications and ways of doing things. It will most likely be the pattern
for the future. There are still many "experts" who insist that Windows XP is
crap, all anyone needs is Windows 98.
