As far as the malware, yes you can determine if the application was initiated by a real user event vs. a code drive malware event. But Microsoft doesn't even bother to look at message queue source ... so there you have it. More lazy BS from Microsoft with an attempt to pass security over to the user. Get a clue!!!
It may be possible to superficially determine if it was a mouse click or not but don't bother showing me that, please "carefully document" for me how this can be determined by an OS in a FOOLPROOF way that malware could not circumvent/spoof??? Are you serious? There is no foolproof way and it would just be a matter of time before an inherent flaw like this would be exploited mercilessly!! This is the kind of possibility one guards against on general principles. And no, a UAC mouse click is not the same as a user mode click - the UAC is running in a mode invisible to what runs in the user area. It too COULD be circumvented but this is vastly more difficult.
Why are both Mac and Linux also running in user mode and require elevation to root/admin? Why, because this is the only secure way to build an OS, that's why. Perhaps the fact that Windows has been the target of virtually all (criminally and anti-socially generated) malware out there and thus needs to be even MORE protected than MAC or Linux has escaped you? Why only a few years ago THIS was the argument against those idiots at MS who left the door wide open!
Was MS a bit over zealous and could it be improved slightly, why yes, I already said that and we all hope the new way in 7 is better (all except you obviously who are hoping they fail)
And if it is so simple to do away with prompted elevation then why did MS NOT do it? Are you suggesting they actually want their OS to fail by ignoring something so obvious or because they are simply lazy? Why yes, that is what you said. Why pray tell would they want to destroy their own company and lose their jobs? Take off that tin hat my friend. I guess you probably think 911 was an inside job and that lizard people rule the planet too through the NWO, eh?
Extraordinary and bizarre claims require extraordinary proof - start proving.
Mac OAS share is less than 5% worldwide. Yes, it is growing marginally in the US but much less than you seem to suggest. You haven't been drinking Job's kool aid about 17% share have you?? LOL That was RETAIL and only US. Their market share of ADVERTISING is about 90%, perhaps that confused you?
They are about 8.1% US share. (IDC)
So loss of browser share is evidence Windows Vista and Seven are bad? No, that's evidence Firefox is good. Firefox is a browser, not an OS.
Mac share is indeed growing and in markets (youth/mobile/laptops) that should be concerning to MS - because of very effective but laughably misleading advertising and the failure of MS and the OEMs to get together to produce a product of consistent quality with early Vista machines. MAC has an inherent advantage in controlling every aspect of their walled garden. We all acknowledge that. Good for them. MS needs to move closer to that somehow.
Vista itself is fine at this point (not polished to perfection, it has its quirks still) but MS haters such as yourself wish to continue the smear conspiracy and will do so through Seven as well, even before they know much of anything about it, why? Let's see, why? Hmmm . . because it aids in their desperate quest to dethrone MS and promote their own agenda? No, they wouldn't do that would they?
This is so ridiculously obvious.
