lindows comes to walmart

[Joel Hammer]

Nothing wrong as running as root except:

1. Those viruses will run with root priviledge, too. You should at least
read your email as a regular user.
2. You can alter crucial system files without wanting to. 
3. It makes a mockery out of the concept of a multiuser computer system.

That said, I can easily see the advantage of running always as root. I guess
Microsoft saw them, too. That's why they are so successful.
