Don't think it's a contest of pointing fingers. There is a hitch, though. If you get comfortable blaming others such as Microsoft, you document that you won't take responsibility for your own programming tasks. Other programs seemingly don't have problems with UAC issues and UAC was introduced for a reason. Turning UAC off looks like wielding some axe and fishing for an excuse -> there is another company to blame, it's not me ...

Personally I never had an issue with this UAC stuff here on Vista business. Might be related to the fact that I like BB installed on its own partition, thus the seemingly capricious C:\Program Files directory does not get involved.

I would hate having to turn off UAC and thereby compromising the system security, just in order to have some program do what it's supposed to do.
