It looks a lot like Suse Linux to me, (except with
the usual Rube Goldberg decorations that MS likes
to add in, like the virtualization of Registry and
folder paths): In Suse, one has to either put up with
constant permission prompts, which I personally
find entirely unworkable, or track down the semi-hidden
settings that allow one to run as actual root.
OT: Yeah, I wish there was a sudo GUI equivalent so that I wouldn't be
continually prompted every time I change to a different admin applet.

any to begin with).
Yes. It allows one to feel very important,
though. We can imagine that we're gov't
agents working on top secret documents. :)
The only approach that makes sense to
me is full root for basic things and limited user
when going online. I'd rather re-install a disk
image occasionally due to a goof than deal
with limitations. Actually, though, I'm still waiting
to go online with Linux until I find an easy,
clear, GUI-based, 2-way firewall. As far as I
know, Linux doesn't even have a firewall
available that blocks outgoing comm.
