Heute begrüssen wir: Bill Gates! Sein irgendwann 2007 erscheinendes neues Windows namens "Vista" wird "Sicherheitsfeatures" kennen, die für die Mac- und Linux-Fraktion seit Jahr und Tag selbstverständlich sind:

User Account Control (UAC), a new set of features in Windows Vista, helps strike a balance between the flexibility and power of an administrator account and the security of a standard user account. Activities such as surfing the web, sending e-mail, and using productivity programs don't require special administrative privileges. Windows Vista makes it easy to perform these activities and be productive using standard user accounts. When you want to perform an administrative task, like installing a new program, Windows Vista prompts you to verify that you want to install the program before allowing that administrative task to run. This way, the use of administrator privileges is minimized, making it more difficult for malware, such as viruses, worms, spyware, and other potentially unwanted software, to have machine-wide impact on your PC.
