> blanking out the screen then the dialog That was a much bigger issue than people give it credit for, especially since Vista shipped on a number of underpowered systems. My first encounter with UAC scared the living daylights out of me: I had just bought a new laptop. A few minutes in to setting things up, my screen turned off. For about a minute. Maybe two minutes. I was freaking out. Eventually it came back with a dialog asking if I would give permission to move a file. Disaster.
