Windows Vista Beta2 users to run as standard user
Coming from Windows Connected:David Cross a Director of Program Management with Windows Security has posted today over at the UAC blog that the users accounts created on Windows Vista Beta2 will be standard users. Yep, thats right...not an Admin, not a Protected Admin, but a standard user.
I think this is a great move by the Windows Security team. It will hieghten awareness of the challenges of running as a standard user since the Beta2 build will be a widely distributed build and the one that most software vendors will target many of their early products at.
So, if you are an ISV, pay attention to this and make sure that your code can run as a standard users as many users will be running this way. I hope.
