But again, that's because we're power users. We open alot of admin type windows... Your average joe wouldn't do a fifth of the stuff we do. So for them. Its a once a week occurance(if that) and causes them to pause and take a look at what they're doing.

Granted for us it sucks. I wish it was more modular, i.e. you could set yourself as a superuser and only get notified of special things by the UAC system, rather than making IT pros turn it off altogether. That'd be nice.
