As this search shows UAC Virtualization is used only once on the MS site (in the document you referenced), all the other occurrences are on the forums (most probably contributed by third parties).

Also, the term is inherently incorrect. UAC is not virtualized, nor does UAC virtualizes anything!

shame on you – you know full well that lack of knowledge has never stopped people from using windows… if anything the opposite is true…

I would like to mention a couple things in response to your blog rant.

1) In the first paragraph of Mr. Delber’s article, he uses the phrase “User Account Control and Virtualization” which is accurate. A little further in he writes “UAC lends a helping hand by virtualizing the file system and Registry namespace.” Again, accurate. From that point on he does refer to the process as UAC virtualization which I propagated in my comments on my blog post.

2) However, Microsoft does the same thing. Particularly in their FAQ on User Access Control here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772207.aspx.

Considering the two statements above, I view your rant as out of line and itself lending to the problem you are ranting about.
