Please take a look at this:

Numerous articles like this have appeared on the Web about businesses and
government organizations not wanting to deploy Vista in their environments.
The one above is about the FAA not wanting to do so, and I read one article
recently about Intel not wanting to deploy Vista either.

It has become common knowledge that security features like UAC and Windows
Defender in Vista have put a lot of thieves out of business. Obviously these
people have a lot of influence, if they can convince the FAA, Intel, etc.
that Vista is bad for their employees.

And now the consensus that they want to reach that they'll keep XP and keep
ripping people off until Windows 7 is released.

So, here's my question: Is Microsoft being pressured to retract features
like UAC and Windows Defender from Windows 7? And will Microsoft cave in?

Thanks.
