A Fresh Look at Vista's User Account Control

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday May 4, 2006 @08:10AM from the let-me-in dept.

Art Grimm writes to mention a post at Ed Bott's Microsoft Report on ZDNet. There, he talks about Vista's User Account Control, and the issues he sees with the setup as it exists now. From the article: "The UAC prompts I depicted in the first post are those that appear when you install a program, when you run a program that requires access to sensitive locations, or when you configure a Windows setting that affects all users. But as many beta testers have discovered, UAC prompts can also show up when you perform seemingly innocent file operations on drives formatted using NTFS. In this post, I explain why these prompts appear and why some so-called Windows experts miss the obvious reason (and the obvious fix)."

Take this goddamn article down. by Gannoc · 2006-05-04 08:31 · Score: 0, Redundant

Seriously. How many pages was this article for how much text? ./ shouldn't reward this type of bullshit ad-revenue-sucking crap with more hits.

Could they possibly make that "article" any more annoying? They'd have been better-served to turn it into a flash-animated slide show. I'm not going to click all the way through that thing.

You read the article??
You're new here, aren't you? It's much easier to just comment about the article without reading it. As your experience so clearly demonstrates. :-)
