any Microsoft signed executable can bypass UAC.

If UAC is set to Medium (the default).

If you're serious about security you should set it to High.

Unfortunately this results in constant annoying prompts.

I don't know what OSX does, but it seems like I'm prompted to escalate far less often than I would be on a high UAC system. How do the requirements compare?

Your usage of OSX must be different than mine, because I get prompted far more than I'd like.
