Irrelevant, Mac boy. Read the thread: Windows security profiles allow you to create user accounts with arbitrary privilege sets.

The vast majority of individual Windows users don't even know they can set up a seperate account for Junior, much less set "arbitrary privilege sets." On almost every small business LAN I have worked on where there was an internet router, even those set up by "consultants" or "experts," I have found that they are using the default addresses set by the router's manufacturer and the firewall is off.

No, Bush, it isn't. Go out, find 100 home or small business Windows users at random and check the percentage that are NOT running at Administrator level. I would be very surprised if the percentage was more the .1%... in other words, 99.9%+ are operating at Administrator level.

Duh. As we've already discussed, over 98% of users get their PCs preconfigured from Dell and other OEMs. They just use whatever account was preassigned by Dell. In virtually all cases, that means using the default administrator account. That isn't Microsoft's doing -- nor is it a flaw in Windows.
