It's not really hypocritical, because UAC so far is a more annoying feature, and is more intrusive and prevents more things than what OS X does (and Linux for that matter). It would be hypocritical if OS X's own requirements for a user to enter administrative passwords, etc. was as annoying to OS X users as UAC is to Vista users. This isn't really fanboyism, I've seen tons of comments from many Vista users saying they find it annoying, have disabled it because it bothers them so much, etc. (which is a sign of a bad feature, if it is so annoying that people are disabling it).
