No, that's the M$ line.  Why do you think Lindows originally ran
everything as root?

Remember the roots of Windows NT/ME/XP -- Windows 3.0 (no network, one
machine, one user), not Windows 3.1 (one machine, one user, with a
network patch applied).

This still forms the basis of all the problems with Windows and why I
say Windows should be banned from the Internet.  We have millions of
lusers connected running as root.  That's scary (when you understand
the implications).
