Uac feature in vista

Another way is to use a standard user or guest account instead of an administrator account that is created after installing Windows. UAC under an admin account is like a yellow traffic light. You are already in the system as administrator.

The biggest single advantage sudo has over Windows UAC is authentication; each time sudo is invoked you must authenticate. UAC just requires a mouse click. Now how is that secure? Even though I am now on Linux exclusively since long, when I used Windows, I used SuRun which I rate better than any of the so called feeble attempts by Windows to emulate sudo. Very good and very useful. And i think that a UAC has been improved since vista or so i was told but not much of improving?

According to IBRS security analyst James Turner, Microsoft's decision to sacrifice security for user friendliness has backfired on the company.

DOS was almost like a stripped back version of Unix and Microsoft left some of the cool stuff — things like file permissions — behind. So they've been dealing with this fairly fundamental void in their core ever since. Microsoft has always been the easy, user-friendly operating system and now this same ease of use has become a liability," said Turner. Developers are in short supply.
