Yes, the UAC is a pain, but a good pain.
I've been getting my FAXMAN Faxserver to be Vista compliant.
Adding a manifest is not a big deal.
Getting a KEY to 'sign' a product can cost $400 or more (though I hear there may be cheaper ones.)
Learning where to place files took a bit.
Program executables go into c:\program files (which after the initial install the app can no longer write to, unless it is running in Admin Mode.)
The DOTNET default application configuration goes another place (hidden pretty good)
The Shared (between users) application data goes another
The user specific application data goes into another
For my two cents, getting into the habit of turning off the UAC for clients would be doing them a dis-service.
Here is Microsoft thoughts on developing in the UAC world.
Each file can be a maximum of 1MB in length Uploaded files will be purged from the server on a regular basis.
