No. It's the admin's job to do the minimum work of running the machine in an appropriate user mode.

And where's the admin for the hundreds of millions of home installs? Is everyone supposed to become a computer expert just to be relatively secure? That's what Mac OS X saves them from.

And for business, do you mind paying for the extra admin work to make up for the shortcomings of the OS and its initial configuration? I'd prefer to save the money.

Tell it to Red Hat. Or Suse. Or Mandrake. Because they ship exactly the same way.

Considering that you would need to add user accounts anyway -- and differentiating those user accounts as restricted is TRIVIAL -- I'd go with the OS that the vast majority of the world uses. Not some untested wallflower OS from pansyland California...
