Welcome to the User Account Control Weblog
Hi, and welcome to our team User Account Control (UAC) blog. We will use this space to keep you updated on our development, inform you about how our feature works, and to answer your questions (hopefully!). UAC is the name for a core security feature that will be included in the next version of Windows client and Windows server and was previously referred to as a Least-privileged User Account (LUA) and User Account Protection (UAP). By enabling user accounts to run with the least administrative privileges required to perform different tasks, UAC helps to greatly reduce the impact of viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.
We chose to create different categories in our blog for developers and IT Pros in order to better address the different questions and issues each may have while learning about UAC. We're completely open to feedback and questions, so feel free to chime in. If we're not providing enough information, or if we're being unclear in any of our posts, let us know too, and we'll do our best to elaborate or clear up any ambiguities.
