Vista--Security and annoyance

A Microsoft manager has said that one of the security features in Vista was deliberately designed to "annoy users" to put pressure on third-party software makers to make their applications more secure.
According to David Cross, a product unit manager at Microsoft "The reason we put UAC into the (Vista) platform was to annoy users--I'm serious,"
Cross claimed that annoying users had been part of a Microsoft strategy to force independent software vendors (ISVs) to make their code more secure, as insecure code would trigger a prompt, discouraging users from executing the code.
