UAC - What's the point?

[VectraMan]

But I'm executing M$ signed code, so it adds no value whatsoever. If anything makes me want to turn UAC off because if I'm confronted by 30 or 40 warnings like that in the course of a normal day, chances are if I ever did accidentally click on some malicious icon (highly unlikely) I'd automatically click on 'Continue' as I'd be so used to doing it.

Bit like how noone bats an eyelid when a car alarm goes off.

So signed code should have full access to your system without any warning? Obvious problem there.

I only really see it when I run installers, or when I launch regedit, which because of what I do does happen quite often. Not 40 times a day though, and for most users who aren't developers, it's going to be a rare occurrence.

At least Windows doesn't demand you type in an administrator password, again, and again, and again...

I don't have this problem.

I don't have this problem.

Me neither, Microsoft not ready for the enterprise is it?

Wow is this a serious thread or a Mick take. If it's serious then there are some extremely stupid people here.
