Generally, with the UAC off, I don't know of many cases, where you still
need the Run As Administrator and I don't know that it actually does any
good even if you did. Obviously the real test would be to turn the UAC back
on and see how the install goes. I'm still playing around with the different
installs to see what does and doesn't make a difference. The only program
I've found so far, that has the most trouble (but has an easy fix) is Adobe
reader 8.0 I'm sure other programs might be having issues with the UAC being
off, this one just seems to be the most obvious.
My personal opinion, is that this is where the UAC seems to have been a
rushed feature or it's a feature they are doing their best to mandate,
regardless of what the user wants. If I turn the UAC off and I have to
reboot, then it should be a complete off. None of this, something things
work, some things don't. I know the argument will be, that it was written
from the ground up and it's not that easy. But I, as a user, don't care how
hard it is to implement such a model.
Maybe in a update or maybe a service pack, they will change the behavior to
be more absolute on or off. Of course, as more apps come out with Vista in
mind, maybe it will become less of an issue.
