MS should be flogged on the
Administrator thing for sure. They probably do it because they won't let autoupdates work for the Power or Limited User, but like most all major Linux distros, they should present an installer with the option for Administrator password, but create a Power User account that they'll be logged into. Time to inform users that this old way isn't right for anybody going networked, this isn't Windows 95 and the net isn't a nice place, and this isn't Lindows, time to step away from making a root user to boot.

And Sony stills need to be flogged, for being an RIAA member to the core, or the root.
