Comment Administrator isn't a choice... (Score 1) 634
Sadly just about everyone runs shit as Administrator (it is the default mode for XP Home installs) to make life easier and as MSFT has noted they are opening themselves up to the attacks... For those that will mention that Linux is so much better remember that these are the same people that wouldn't like to have to change to root (sudo, su, login, whatever) to install anything
I've virtually no choice but to run my WinXP box with an administrator account. Almost all the software I use on a daily basis, from applications to the kids educational stuff, requires that it be run under an administrator account. If the software developers aren't going to deliver stuff that can run under a limited account then they're hardly helping solve the problems.
