Although it's annoying to prompted so frequently for access as shown in the screenshot, I feel it's a necessary evil.
In regards to the "Vista" reference, users went from a Windows XP "do whatever you want" model to an "are you sure?" (UAC) model with Vista, Windows 7, 8, and beyond. It caused frustration but at the same time Microsoft made an attempt to give software less access by default, which was a great thing for software security, even if it didn't make it secure.
