So linux improving security to allow users to have an 8 character password instead of a 15 isn't improving teh user experience? Wow, I never thought you'd give up the one user experience that Linux had over Windows, but I'll take it--even though I don't agree with it.
Again, you think only ease for the user, not security. This should be known as the Microsoft Syndrome. "Oooh, this ActiveX idea would be cool and the user's will like it. [later] Oh crap, it's one giant gaping security hole!"
I remember the days when I could truthfully tell people it's impossible to get a virus by opening an email, that what they got was just a hoax. Microsoft ended that.

In case you haven't noticed, I don't exactly love Linux. I like that it's good for certain things, that it can be modified without the need for obtaining licenses, and that it can be a big cost saver in various scenarios. But that's it. I have no real interest in the cult surrounding it. I only care as much as what it can do for me.
