are just "spoiled" if you can call it that. Every other operating system in the world discourages and makes it non optimal to run as a user on an administrator account. Every other OS in the world has some sort of security feature where you have to login as an admin or type in admin password every time you do some administrative task. This is standard security practices. Running as a user on an admin account is really stupid, if you're not actively making changes to the system level and adminstrative settings of a compyter -- then you should not be on an admin authed account -- whether you're the head of IT at a fortune 500 company or the smartest hacker on earth, it doesn't matter. UAC is just bringing windows into the 90s (yes the 90s) in terms of standard security procedures. This isn't the internet-net-less dos boxes of the 80s and microsoft finally woke up. Now its time for their users to wake up too. Or by al means keep running your computer like it's a 1980s beige dos box with no modem and no need for security, I'm sure the 500 viruses you'll get will be quite helpful. ls help me.. i am using now a windows 7 home basic, and i want to use skype in my PC, but why i con't sign in after i installed the skype installer. i follow all the help support (troubleshooter) in skype site, Off the firewall, allow the
