Hi Gerry,
I am not sure yet about Windows Vista security but they have had about four
years to think it right :-)
Basically you have:
- users at a company
- users at home
and:
- users who care and know about security
- users who don´t care and know about security
so you have four quadrants and the trick is to find something that it is
easy and secure for all. I started developing as non-admin two years ago or
so, it was painful, and I have to had a second admin account to do RunAs
with some things, which is somewhat annoying or fully logon with that
account, which is even more annoying. But I do care about security, so I do
it. On the other hand my sister runs with admin privs, although she'd rather
run with non-admin and type a password for certain things from time to time,
even if she has the password on their monitor, and Windows Vista will allow
this. On a corporate environment I'm sure that users won´t have that option
if admins don´t want to.
