Developers snub Vista in favour of XP

From what I have read about the UAC, it is an extremely complex application, and requires many more lines of code for it to do its job effectively. It came on my laptop and I replaced it with PCLinuxOS after 2 days because it pops up asking "are you the one who initiated this action?", for things I would consider redundant, and unnecessary.
I think they could have made it much simpler by asking for a root password when administer rights are required. Now M$ is blaming users for infections when they created this mess themselves.

The fact is: Software developers today are really designers and not coders. The reason that business anlaysts exist today to model solutions is because they understand the value of designing software before writing it. All too often developers create code that has little value because they do not understand that business classes interact with other classes within the confines of a working model or pattern.
