I like the way the Mac does it, makes you quite comfortable as a regular user, and prompt for the password when you need to do something that takes privs.
You mean, the way Linux/UNIX does it? ;) Microsoft has always suggested that average users run WITHOUT local admin rights, but has done little in the application world to support this position. It would seem that they are cleaning up a bit and giving least priv a real run. Applications will have to be designed better out of the box to support this position and I hope Microsoft doesn't back down from it. -Todd _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
