Windows doesn't ask for a password, but it gives a message saying, "A program is trying to get installed. This may be dangerous. What do you do?" and then the options "allow" and "reject" pop up and you can choose which one. If you are running the computer without admin rights, it will tell you that you need to have admin rights to install the software and it will not let you install it.
You can, of course, turn off User Account Control and give yourself full user rights. But so what?
Agreed, but its contributing to the bad habit of "just click the button and install because I dont want to be bothered". By at least asking for a password instead, it triggers a different thought and makes the user think for a second instead of just clicking a button out of habit.
