Microsoft's platform chief Steven Sinofsky acknowledged that perhaps User Account Control in Windows Vista may have been...a little annoying. In turn, Windows 7 has additional UAC settings.

Sinofsky said that with UAC, Microsoft had what he described as "the best intentions" in mind. But its attention to informing the user about what's going on and getting consent "possibly went too far."

For now, in the Pre-Beta version of Windows 7, there are now four settings for configuring how intrusive UAC will be:

• Never notify me
  
• Only notify me when programs try to make changes
  
• Always notify
  
• Notify and wait for my approval

They aint admitting shit.
They just agknowledge that thier users are complaining about it so they are adding new features so people wont complain.

Which is exactly what Microsoft needs to do ... unlike apple who does SHIT.

I disagree, I think Apple actually addresses problems more than Microsoft.
But whatever, that's nice that UAC is being toned down. I just hope 7 isn't as expensive as Vista was.
