A month ago I heard a funny story from a guy who works at a computer store. It
turns out that Vista is a mess to clean up because UAC stands in the way even
when you try to clean up and remove a virus.

It's like digging deep ditches around you for 'safety', but when you come under
attack you run straight into the ditch, only to fall into it. Vista dug its
own grave.

Security is inherent; it's not an addon or a 'feature'.
