I wouldn't be surprised if every windows 7 computer contains a top secret code that breaks your computer (on purpose of course) in a couple of years. Wake up everyone!!! Microsoft just wants your $$$$$$$$$$!!! Your thinking makes me sick. I think that UAC is really good idea and helps stop rootkits and malware.
