What are the limitations of "shell access?"

Not much limitation... user access. So don't run as administrator. This is not good.

Why is Skype running data in an executable area??? That is stupid and unforgivable!

I am actually amazed Skype could even do that. I find Apple products usually are not as loose as that.

So what do you do if you’re an only user and have to be administrator?

Isn’t the point of Mac more or less, that one does (not) run as Administrator?

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

Almost everything about Skype code is stupid and unforgivable. And that was before MS bought them.
