This is a blasted non-discussion. Back in 1999., when Microsoft issued its first AppSpec documentation in respect to W2K, you did nothing. Upon revision for XP in 2001. once again you did nothing, blindly ignoring the world around you and the changes which were supposed to be done to the applications by Windows developers in order to get integrated into a "new age", secure multi-user Windows environment.
Only now, after receiving a sledgehammer blow over the head with Vista's UAC, you choose to react. It seems that knocking you over the head with a blunt object is the only way to persuade you developers to accept that it's time for decades-old developer dogmas to finally get tossed out the window.
We can only thank God for UAC, for if it weren't for that glorious mechanism, your software would remain unusable for as long as the Windows platform existed.
