The Truth about Vista UAC

If you've tried Vista, you know about the UAC prompt you get whenever you try to install a program, or even run Regedit.
Here's the scoop from Microsoft, including some stats:

"88% of Vista users still have UAC enabled"
"66% of Windows sessions don't encounter a UAC prompt"
So to summarize -- it only annoys power users.
