If I have understood UAC right, it warns me for everything. Be it a genuine software or a malware. For example, when I tried to install avast AV on a friends Vista lappy even then Vista warned. So basically users will just accept any warning Vista shows without thinking twice. You have to agree on this given your attention towards UX. The fact that the world has several virus infected Vista PCs is the proof of my statement.
