"UAC" is no more than a new commercial designation for something with about 40 years. And they (Redmond) are still missing the concept's point.
...what?
He's saying Microsoft has embraced and extended "privilege management" and "introduced" it as something new, "UAC". He then says Microsoft is daft and missing the entire point of privilege management, even though it's been around for decades and their "UAC" is nothing new. Make sense? kmw -- Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even if chequered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory or defeat. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
