[philonous]

This makes sense to me. For example, on a Mac or any *nix system, even if you are logged in as administrator, you have to provide your password or execute sudo in order to write to important files. Windows has no such safeguard.

Of course, the number one vulnerability is doing day-to-day work as administrator, which the average user will never understand. Nevertheless, even as a simple user on Windows machines, I manage to get to files that I don't think I should be able to get to. :)
