No harm in being optimistic I guess.

That would be awesome, but I think it will take a bit longer to hit that mark.

It does sound promising though.

I'm mostly careful when clicking or not clicking things, but I have to imagine that some of you are not. So, who would like to step up to the plate and tell some horror story about the nasty bit of software you managed to install on your Windows 8 machine? Any takers? Dovella, I need you to click on something bad.

There's also the "improved" smartscreen filter, which still randomly decides to make me jump through ridiculous hoops to execute certain things just because they're not commonly downloaded.

It's especially fun since I run as a true limited user. Sometimes smartscreen demands "administrator approval" (not for elevation, it just requires me to enter my administrator password to run the application at all), and it uses a new type of metro-style screen overlay to ask for that, which doesn't support my fingerprint reader (everywhere else in Windows I can use it, including the UAC elevation dialog), so I have to enter my long and complicated admin password. This seems like a very curious oversight.

If the application needs to be elevated, I'll get a separate UAC dialog (on which I can use the fingerprint reader) after the SmartScreen "administrator permission" thing. Note that you'll probably never see that dialog if you're not running as a limited user.
