Yes. It should. And we plan to implement that feature at some point in the future (ie. the annoying UAC prompt to allow/deny, like you get with just about all other programs/actions on Vista).

I'm not sure what programs you're running but if you really use programs circa 1997 ^^ that need DEP turned off and super admin the whole time then edit the registry and turn a simple key value from a 0 to a 1. On administrator accounts UAC prompts will now be disabled but UAC prompts will remain active on standard user accounts. But I really don't think you have Vista or ever want to get it. You just come up with fairly weak reasons, like everyone else, to justify not bothering to get it.

Anyway most programs from 2000+ just need Windows XP SP2 Compatiblity mode (if at all) and don't really need administrator privileges. And really the programs that most users use wouldn't need admin at all, and thus wouldn't trigger UAC prompts. And also since it's been 18 months since RTM versions were given to most companies, the majority of useful programs that DID need Administrator privileges now have some level of Vista compatibility.

WinAmp seems to be the exception though.
