Re: UAC in Windows 7 more trouble then its worth?

["Ty Purcell" <TPurcell () ffin com>]

I see it as making things easier for support (if you are running your users as users only, not local admins.) I 
experimented with no UAC and no admin rights, it was a big pain to support. With UAC on, it was easy. 

We had a vendor that had a couple of products that did not work with UAC on. We told them to fix it, they cried about 
it, took 3+ months, but finally fixed it.

I agree that it will be more secure, but what do others think??

Hi everyone,

We are upgrading from xp to 7 in the next few months. At the minute there is a few areas that concern me but I only 
want to voice my opinions at the right time and only for the fights worth fighting. In my personal opinion UAC will 
help make our systems more secure and is worth having even if it makes our jobs that bit harder. 

At the minute most stuff seems to work fine but there are a few pieces of legacy software that are causing minor 
issues. The guy that does our third line says it will create us a massive head and should be turned off. Can I  ask do 
you have it turned on? is it worth having?? any other advise? 

Many Thanks
