Yes everyone should "consider switching to Firefox of Opera". On my windows install I hardly ever log in as Admin, and I disabled all that active scripting and active x stuff in IE and I think I even disabled java in IE. (I use firefox of course) but these days I'm mostly always using Linux and OS X.
"Yah the Windows equivalent of sudo is runas, but, does anyone know if XP was the first version to have this or have I just never noticed it in NT 4 & 5?"RunAs appeared in Win2k.
"As an Administrator, run "gpedit.msc" Open Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment. Open the item "Change system time" and add your wife's user account, or the group Users. If you add the Users group, make sure to click on "Object Types" in the Add User/Group dialog, and check "Groups." "But as a Limited User, I don't want her to change the system time. For that matter, I don't want to change the system time either. The system updates itself with a time server. Just on that alone, the Apply button should be disabled. I DO want her to be able to LOOK at the calendar though. And there is no solution for just VIEWING the calendar. I mean, if I was just going to start adding extra permissions to her account, I might as well make her an administrator and be done. My point is that this is an example of how NO ONE at Microsoft takes LUA accounts seriously and I doubt a single user at microsoft ran as a LUA while developing XP. This is just one example of how microsoft gives security only a passing thought and their claims to the contrary are merely lip service. And before someone comes on here and tells me that vista will be different, just remember that the security model in NT hasn't significantly changed since the first release. ACL's were there from the very beginning and better security has ALWAYS been held up as a new feature with every new release of the codebase. Vista's security model will not differ significantly either.Fool me once, Microsoft...
