[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 98186, post: 1026485"] Because the whole point of SAC is to ensure that the system is clean and that SAC will only permit installs of what Microsoft has determined to be "non-malicious" or "non-PUA." Microsoft is trying to put a stop to "users who want to use stuff" from downloading and executing whatever they want. It is an unpopular position, but at the same time catering to "users who want to use stuff" with default-allow absurdity is a primary cause of the out-of-control malware problem. Permitting unmanaged users to do what they want is an ideology that is both obsolete and asinine in this day and age. In short, with SAC, Microsoft is trying to implement a "softer and easier way" to enforce Windows S mode. [/QUOTE]
