If you don't like the securities of Vista, why not just stick with XP? Some
of us don't really mind the prompts (except in VNC, where it bumps you :P).
Microsoft developed the UAC feature for Windows Vista to help prevent
malicious programs silent installation and computer-wide infection (which in
theory is a good idea). Although it's not really a good idea (and one I
wouldn't suggest), but you could turn off UAC.

The computer is not asking you if you want the program to run; it is asking
you if you want to give that program COMPLETE control over your computer.

When you are logged in as an administrator, YOU have complete control over
your computer. However, the computer is smart enough to know that you may not
want EVERY program that you run have this power as well.

So, if a program tells your computer that it wants to use ALL of your powers
(which can be used for good or bad), the computer asks YOU if you want to
allow that program to have this awesome power.

Programs that do not ask for this power do not receive it, and you can be
confident that those programs that do not ask will not be able to severely
harm your computer.

The computer has no way of knowing how much power you want to give the
programs you run without asking you.
