UAC is the most important step Microsoft has ever taken on any product ever to increase security. Disabling it is less annoying but makes your computer much more vulnerable to malware.

Example: said:
Browser exploit discovered which can execute any program on computer with privileges of the user under which browser is executed.

Random webpage has code injected to download somefile.txt which is actually an executable disguised as a text file. Chrome/Firefox/ie doesn't complain and downloads it to default location.

Next page exploits execution of file, file extension doesn't matter.

UAC: File wants your permission to execute. (unsigned unknown wtf is this)
No UAC: Kernel driver installed, rootkit operational, welcome to the botnet.

Granted, I don't use UAC on my desktop :/

I have mine disabled, but I only do that on my own computers. I give my users a choice of how they want the computer set up. If you had to refresh or reset the compute,r you could always turn UAC off, go through the process, and then set UAC back to whatever you want.
