The UAC in Vista is schizophrenic.  It's not simply sudo, it's shell-shocked
sudo on crack and will annoy you to no end.  I'm on an admin account, with UAC
/turned off/ (or at least as off as it can be) and it still annoys me from time
to time with stupidities like asking wether I'm sure I should let notepad show
me an html source...
