What annoyed me most is that the UAC dialog didn't have the "remember this for the future" checkbox. It's there in the last two firewalls I used, and I suffer the annoyance for a while, knowing it's once per event. Next time it remembers it, as if having a memory, you know, like a computer. In the Vista, it used to ask me the same damn thing EVERY TIME. There's probably a way to set it somewhere, but Microsoft wouldn't be true to tradition if they put it in a logical place. It's hidden somewhere.
