This is more common than you think, with UAC the pain in the a**e that it is people do switch it off. Until it becomes more user friendly, than this is going to happen.
Not to mention in the other topic relating to UAC also, malware seems to have little problem circumventing it, so no guarantee that even with UAC on that this wouldn’t have worked. As you said it isn’t a Panacea.
