technology environment has shifted

Seems like even though XP was/is more vulnerable to hackers, it is also easier to fix, mainly by replacing corrupted files. WIth 7, they assume the files are perfect and special and blessed and they'll be damned if they let you replace/repair any of them. Hackers don't seem to have that limitation.

We've had issues with users on Windows 7 trying to put data in the "C:\Program Files" directory, and then wondering why Win7 security doesn't allow their programs to update their data.

Win7 security bites a lot of users, and I'm not convinced it really improves security against malware enough to be worth the hassle.
