"The results of the analysis show that Windows Vista has an improved
security vulnerability profile over its predecessor and a significantly
better profile relative to comparable modern competitive operating systems."

UAC popups are irritating, whether turned ON or OFF, which was the
principal point made by Natalya Kaspersky! This could cause users to
turn UAC off thereby reducing security. The Article's Banner
Headline misleads as to what is being said and Kirk Jim has used the
misleading headline to score an anti-Microsoft point.

The comments about Patchguard by Symantec are rich given the way
they interfered with System Restore in Windows XP. They did it by
stealth thereby discrediting the effectiveness of System Restore. Of
they had a rival product waiting in the wings!

I have UAC turned OFF, for better or worse, and I get no popups.. UAC exists
to make users aware as much as anything.. MS gave the option to turn it
off.. they did good..

Symantec have no right to say anything.. their products are the most
invasive....................
