UAC flaw “by design” says Microsoft

Microsoft dis­misses Win­dows 7 UAC secur­ity flaw, con­tin­ues to insist it is “by design”:

Just because it’s by design doesn’t mean to say it’s right. This is exactly the blinkered think­ing that we heard from the people work­ing on UAC in the Vista time­frame — “This is the way it’s going to be, we know bet­ter than you.”

Since that atti­tude was prov­ably incor­rect last time, what makes it any more right this time?
