You need to stick to factual, well-defined questions; such as, "what is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"

They should be doing this:
Won't work. If there is a policy mechanism to "always allow" (e.g. "don't annoy me any more for this program"), then clever software developers will figure out how to to solve the "UAC Problem" _once_ in their setup routine (by pre-setting the policy), rather than fixing their programs to run as non-admin. Then they just use and adapt the same setup.exe for all their programs.
Then everyone is back to where we started- everything runs as admin.
I suspect that the Microsoft dev team considered that before they decided to annoy the shit out of their customers. One has to assume that they are neither stupid nor contemptuous of the people who pay their bills...
There is a process to put a driver in the box with Windows, thousands of devices do so. The RAZR didn't exist when Windows XP shipped and Motorola hasn't seen fit to either identify the device over USB generically (so an in-box driver would be used) or gone through the WHQL process to put their driver on Windows Update (for example, by providing driver verifier results to Microsoft to demonstrate a minimum quality bar) so that it would be automatically downloaded and installed when you first plugged in the phone.
Microsoft provided a way for Motorola to solve this problem for customers; Motorola made the choice not to do so. It's not Microsoft's problem or fault.
