M$, or the users of M$ products have the chance to learn from those of us allready down the path of a system with a "root" user. |

MS have finally learnt that you need to protect people from themselves ;) BUT knowing MS style they will simply have it so the user is logged in as root by default. this will make it no better than what they have now. |

I doubt if they would do that. I suspect they will follow the example of Apple where OS X root is disabled by default. There is actually no reason to login to root on OS X normally. |

| 371442 | 2005-07-12 12:06:00 | don't be to sure. MS likes to make things as easy to use as possible with total disregaurd for sicurity. its been proven time and time again. MS is not alone, even windows like nix OS's have been setting it up so the user is logged in as root by default. talk about copying windows faults and all. |
