Yup, it's very similar to what happened with Windows Vista. Those security dialogs were annoying as hell, but the real issue was that most applications were used to running with way more permissions than they really needed. Windows 7 didn't get the flak that Windows Vista got, but the biggest difference was just that applications had had time to fix their permissions so they didn't ask for admin rights that they didn't actually need.
