Re: Windows 8's usage uptake falls further behind Vista's said by BlitzenZeus:Vista wasn't a bad os, and uac was a good idea for the average user who wasn't a complete moron, however most 3rd party software wasn't correctly written to use user account when unnecessarily needing admin privileges for bullcrap reasons when Vista was released.
If they keep changing the O/S, then 3rd party vendors are going to fall behind even more. Add money market issues and low finances I can imagine it will not get better. By the time 3rd party vendors get chance to keep up, the page will have changed again.
We end up with an O/S and it's toys designed internally due to outside companies dropping off more than they open. More cash flow for the O/S vendor, less cash flow for 3rd party vendors?

If that is the case and it is still the same companies and not different ones, I can't argue that point.
It certainly didn't help end-users and their security needing admin just to do play with the favorite software. I'm getting off topic though.
