If and when I am forced into Vista, I will never use anything other than the root administrator account.

or you can just disable UAC.
The whole point of UAC is so that you can do anything to the computer from any account. Also, when you right click an executable, and select 'Run as Administrator', it will run that program with full privileges and access to the computer.
It's pretty bullshit, as XP lets executable files do that anyways. This is Vista's crap excuse for security roflroflrofl

XP lets you do that from any account, and it let you do with without bothering the fuck out of the administrative accounts.
Right click > Run as...

There are other things that you can't do properly.
I don't think any user can use device manager and stuff.

The point of UAC is so you can make an administrator account, then use the non-administrative accounts, without not being able to do stuff you can do on an admin account. That way you can still have admin functionality on a standard account, but malacious software can't.

Yes.
Only problem is that if you are ALREADY on an admin account, UAC appears. You do not put in a password, you just press continue. Anyone can do that, so there is really no point in UAC being on an administrative account.

Furthermore, these abilities were already present in Windows XP and worked perfectly there. Administrative accounts are not bothered with worthless permissions dialogs, and limited accounts are limited accounts with bypasses available if needed. Everything works without posing an incredible annoyance to the client or sysop. I can tolerate Ubuntu's security dialogs though, since there's a very nice timed bypass for it. If I need to do a lot of system work, sudo works magically.
Where the hell is sudo in Windows Vista?
