What do you mean by "everything"? Do you get UAC prompts for programs that shouldn't need it?

Make sure it didn't up your UAC setting to the max. Also see if for some reason the compatibility system decided everything needs admin privileges (see the Compatibility tab)

Q: Allow Documentation in other Stack Exchange communities

I'm a Salesforce developer and would love Documentation to be available in other Stack Exchange communities. The reason is salesforce.stackexchange.com a lot of Salesforce developers get help, especially newer ones like myself. The developer forums and documentation on developer.salesforce.com is...

"We'd love to roll this out network-wide, but we've been in public beta for less than a week, and the product isn't quite ready to go elsewhere. We are actively iterating on docs by fixing bugs and making improvements. Once it is known to work, then we can discuss the possibility of adding it to other sites but that won't be for 6-8 weeks. "

Heisenbug

In computer programming jargon, a heisenbug is a software bug that seems to disappear or alter its behavior when one attempts to study it. The term is a pun on the name of Werner Heisenberg, the physicist who first asserted the observer effect of quantum mechanics, which states that the act of observing a system inevitably alters its state. In electronics the traditional term is probe effect, where attaching a test probe to a device changes its behavior. Similar terms, such as bohrbug, mandelbug, and schrödinbug have been occasionally proposed for other kinds of unusual software bugs, sometimes...

Lol. -_-

I'm surprised no tech site seems to have actually covered this in detail.

> Update: Microsoft delivered a statement to ZDNet stating that this tool is not designed to be a workaround for users who don’t use assistive technology and missed the deadline. However, there’s no indication on exactly how or if Microsoft verifies that an upgrader uses assistive tools.

Yeah. So while it probably works in practice you may as well be installing a pirated copy because you're doing so in violation of the terms under which it's provided.
