XunilLinux!!
I wonder how meny of these people would run this if a box poped up saying you need Addmin permision to install. plaese type in your password or even a box poping up saying you are about to install an unknown program that will modify your registry type yes to continue. Of course maybe something like this would be to dificult for MS coders to implament.

Yup i think MS shares the blame for this.
