Sure whatever. UAC is pretty useful and turning it off is ill-advised. I'd look for a way to get your old games to work without turning it off, or run them on a shittier other box. Last's suggestion, the XP virtual machine, is probably the way to go.

(The only "Hi I'm a Mac" commercial I liked was the Windows Vista UAC one. "You are coming to a sad realization. Cancel or allow." "*Sigh* Allow." But it turns out Macs have their own UAC-type thing too.)
