Actually not as easy as all that
outside of raw sockets what other root type access does guest have? as far as I know they can damage the system.

Actually a windows box without any passwords on any accounts is better protected from remote access than one's with (sounds silly but its true)

If you have ever admin'd you'd know, Users are insane, and they will run as root regardless of OS.

Windows is at a bigger disadvantage because of all the legacy programs/PROGRAMMERS (this means YOU QUICKBOOKS!!!), which requires Admin access.

How do you figure windows gives out admin privs quite freely?
