Worth a view, but it is an hour long.

Perhaps a minor justification for UAC though. It did limit what he could do in the end. I dont believe there's been a privilege elevation exploit yet, and that's the UAC killer really.

From what I can see UAC is essentially what Linux has been doing for years?
