As I use a MacBook as my primary laptop, I use OS X all the time. and I get a login box any time I try to install something or do an admin task where I've locked the settings. So it does a very very similar thing.
I'm not saying Vista's UAC is perfect. I'm just saying that it is very useful for non-technical people so that they take a better interest in what they are installing etc.
