After all, running in Administrator, is pretty much Windows.

There are two levels of administrator in OSX... administrator and ROOT. Root is turned off by default in OSX. That is essentially the "Superuser" level that all WindowsXP users start out using. . . and the administrator level that Windows7 users have.

Confirm: You are saying that Win7 users are superusers in the same way that XP users are? I had the impression that W7 was better in that regard??
