That it was. Vista was Microsoft finally starting to enforce practices they'd been telling developers to do for years. Things like forcing most drivers out of the kernel and forcing developers to use user folders for settings and configuration instead of the Program Files folder.
The annoying UAC prompts all the time were because of lazy developers not doing what they were supposed to be doing for years already.
