It appears that Microsoft is on the verge of losing every bit of quality as reports come in regarding Windows 7 being a bit insecure. The issue highlighted is related to its user account control that can be disabled to make your windowing experience less annoying however doing that your system is prone to malicious attacks. Windows 7’s UAC by default is set to Notify only when programs try to make changes to your system and  user can get disable it for changes made by him. The question however is how can Windows differ between the two? The UAC might be annoying enough but then it’s notifications are essential as they let them know of changes being made. Microsoft however claims to fix this issue in the retail release, how irresponsible of them? I guess Zheng’s proposal of Windows notifying users of changes to the UAC appears logical.
