these videos are inaccurate, Frank never worked in an office environment.
Frank is a homeless bum, his mind is like pudding from all the drug and
alcohol abuse over the years.
The only way he has a computer is because someone threw out an old 486 and
he found it in the trash...
took it to his cave he calls home and taps into a wireless connection of
someone else to troll.

Trolls live in caves ya know!

I disagree with you on that. The default could be that UAC is set up like a
"prison" but there should be a way for competent users to take the shackles
off to your comfort level and not have to operate under a system that treats
you like an idiot.

I want blanket permission to screw around with my system. After all it is my
system and I have been messing around with computers for nearly 30 years.

That's ok but let more experienced people have the control that they want
without constant harassment from UAC.

This doesn't always work as I found out from Microsoft after UAC wanted to
interfere every time that I used Office 2007.

Of course. That is only common sense.

If you take reasonable precautions, UAC doesn't really serve any useful
function.

Bingo! I wish I knew which numbskull at Microsoft (Ballmer?) got it in
his head that MY computer is somehow their's to control.

What's really been happening since the introduction of Vista is some
half-ass campaign that UAC "protects" you from yourself. Well duh,
this might be find for some Rube that just fell off the pumpkin truck
but for users that have ten, twenty or more years experience and know
their way around Windows better than most of the Boys of Redmond do,
UAC is a insult.

The thing I find the most glaring blunder with UAC is you can't really
customize how it operates. You have two choices, both bad. Either
totally turn it off, or leave it on and get nagged to death.

I know... you can drill down and mess with ownership and permissions
but again, that is half-ass backwards which points to another glaring
mistake Microsoft seems to favor. Just like Microsoft assumes you're
guilty until proven innocent and constantly spies on your system
checking if you have a "legal" copy, it assumes every process and
application is a threat which is overkill which brings us full circle.
It should be left up to the individual to decide what is and isn't a
threat to THEIR system. Then once you decide such and such is safe,
UAC should remember. That isn't rocket science, but just common sense.
Something that always seems lacking at Microsoft.
