Chill out kids, have you ever heard of something called run as? It's the equivalent to Sudo in linux which has been around for a long time. UAC is a new concept and the quote used in this patent file is taken WAY out of context because that part of the patent is supposed to sound generic. Later on in the document, you can clearly see that this won't ever get in the way of tools like run as or sudo that have come before it as an infringement of the patent.This really shows how taken out of context stuff can be, even earlier on in the day in the story called "7 things system admins forget to do" on digg, they talk about Sudo and it's equivalent command in Windows called run as.... chill out folks, the patent was filed in 2000, if msft was going to go after sudo, they would have done it by now. Love the inaccuracies even within the article "Did Microsoft just patent sudo" later on they go "When did this Microsoft patent happen?...2000". 7 years is an eternity in IT. So why get riled up over nothing? Enjoy life.
Well if it's about a patent, and sudo was patented 30 years ago, then the patent has expired.Does this not fall into some sort of "obviousness test" though?Allows only the person sitting physically at the computer to do something, with a password prompt? (In far fewer words.)
Microsoft strikes another blow for intellectual freedom! Oops, I think I got that ass-backwards. What I meant to say was, they trampled on freedom, again. NSA Wind-woes - The Final Solution"Just you wait, my pretty..."
good to hear, i am glad someone on this board is keeping a cool head and thinking about the situation and not losing their cool about some blogger's rumor...

Well, the names are in reverse order, so it'd actually be Gang Wang.Which, come to think of it, is even more funny.

If restricting someones intellectual freedom with a gun isn't evil, then what is? Unfettered creativity?
