tell me how intuitive..
..it is to run XP in a non-administrator mode.

In Linux it's by default, and only Administrative things require an Administrator login.

In XP you're Administrator by default and it's very difficult to run in anything other than Administrator mode.

Just one example of why Windows is not "easier". Or that it's sacrificed security for so-called "ease of use".
