Rez. Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 It seems UAC in Windows Vista is so annoying that Stardock are asking it's users wether or not it should intervene with a soloution. Here's an article by Stardock's Numero Uno regarding the matter. Link Is UAC Microsoft's problem or should a Third Party come up with it's own soloution? Does UAC even need to be fixed? What do you think? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43285-should-uac-be-sorted-out-by-a-third-party-vendor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
djXtreme Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 i just turn UAC off. 'nuff said. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43285-should-uac-be-sorted-out-by-a-third-party-vendor/#findComment-313662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forceman Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) Only experienced users should turn it off but even then your putting yourself at risk. What should have happened is something like SUSE has where you need your password (or accept) to the control panel and not needing to accept every module in the control panel that requirers admin privileges. IMHO sudo for Ubuntu and OS X is a much better idea and safer, since it needs your password that you use from login. What does Stardock know about security, can you trust them to hack a better way?

Ampidire Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 i just turn UAC off. 'nuff said. That is the worst solution to the problem. Without the UAC, there is almost no added security to Vista than there was in XP, and the whole point of Vista is added security. Do NOT turn off the UAC, it gets less annoying once you're done installing all your usual apps and then it learns what you do and don't do and what you need it to do and not to do. Just see it through, it gets pretty normal, of course it's still more intrusive than passwords for programs that write to the system or library folders in os x, but it's still a lot less annoying than when you first install it.
