Haha...they have reason for the UAC and user have reason to enable or disable it.

Both have the right on this. Just dont fight buddy.

i thought the UAC is the UAC from Doom 3. anyway, im still using XP here.

Somehow, i agree on that with you.
Anyways, I thought IE7 goes into sandbox mode with or without UAC?

What UAC will do actually ?
lets say a keylogger program, or a virus from a pendrive want to install itself on autorun, will UAC pops up and notify the user?

Basically, for a program to run, it need to
- Run (Basicly)
- Enter it's information into the windows registery (sometimes)
- calls another procedure

UAC monitors all three, thus making sure that if anythng happens, you knows. You then has the option of agreeing to that or cancelling. This also includes programme running in background. Thus any virus that installs itself on autorun will be halted for a while. I said for a while because it's still not 100% foolproof. You also need an AV. but for trojan or worms that relies on registery editing, this is useful

Hope some expert can help me cause cannot do anything with vista install.Someone suggest me to buy windows XP but we already bought Windows Vista....kinda waste of money right?

Try to run it under WinXP SP2 mode, right click the shortcut of the program and u will see compatibility mode. Most of the programs i tried worked beautifully without any problems
