I appreciate it. 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 <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772207.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772207.aspx</a>. Considering the two statements above, I view your rant as out of line and itself lending to the problem you are ranting about. Thanks for reading my blog. I appreciate it.

The guy only wants to sound more important than he is!

If people are interested in learning more about PCI they can read the blog, join the facebook group, participate in the online forum. If they want a structured education on the payments industry, PCI, and regulatory compliance I recommend they check out: http://paymentsecuritypros.com/ and the CPISA and CPISM certifications.
