Overheard at the Office #4

A colleague was installing Axys3 on a clients machine.  This is (or was, we're down to our last financial client, and they don't use it. So I'm not sure anymore) a fairly standard application with our financial clients.  The installer would proceed through, but then throw an error right at the end.  He tried a couple times, same results, then asked me to help.  I told him that he should start by disabling UAC on the machine, because this was a common source of grief with this application.  He turned to me and asked what is UAC?

What is UAC?  I've just watched you acknowledge a UAC dialog box 3 times since you called me over. Do you even look at what you're saying yes to?
