For example, try to explain to someone who doesn't know the difference 
between a root account and a normal account why UAC is a good thing. :-)

As far as I can tell, UAC is sudo and nothing more or less, except that 
even the root account is required to use sudo to do rooty things, unless 
you turn it off. Seems like a reasonable comprimise.
