I don't know if you're being serious here Tony,

I was being serious to the point of: Vista running as non-LUA administrator is no more or less secure than XP running as administrator was. So if you ran XP as administrator all the time, then your Vista installation with LUA turned off isn't any less secure.

The only difference is that Vista lets you elevate to administrator from within a non-administrator session less painfully than XP did. And it adds the extra layer of protection even when running as administrator, and letting you elevate past that layer relatively painlessly. This is good, and should be taken advantage of to improve security above and beyond the security that XP offered.

But my point was that anyone who didn't care about any of this and simply ran XP as admin all the time, isn't making anything worse by turning off LUA on Vista. They're just as equally insecure as they already were.
