Engineers working on Windows 7 have admitted Vista’s User Account Control was too intrusive, and are promising to tone it down in the forthcoming Windows 7. ‘We’ve heard loud and clear that you are frustrated,’ says Microsoft engineer Ben Fathi. ‘You find the prompts too frequent, annoying, and confusing. We still want to provide you control over what changes can happen to your system, but we want to provide you a better overall experience.’ According to Fathi, when Vista first launched, 775,312 unique applications were producing prompts — so some may be annoyed that it won’t be scrapped entirely, but at least Microsoft is listening.
