I no longer disable it on mine. The only OS change I do out of the box is setting the DEP policy to OptOut.
That reminds me. I bought Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars on sale yesterday and it has this notation on the store page:
Notice: WINDOWS 7 USERS: To ensure proper functionality, you must disable User Account Control (UAC) via the Windows Control Panel before launching the game.
Why is it necessary to disable UAC?

Without UAC, all programs run as administrator (bad security practice). I would say that if it runs fine when you run it as administrator without disabling UAC, you should be fine (and you can configure the program to automatically do it through the compatibility tab).
