in Vista& 7, I think the Windows user privileges model has been

For better or worse, MS does this in exact response to customer
feedback.
...and they don't seem to understand that this is the WORST possible
thing that they could do. Their customers are (typically) the least
computer-literate computer users out there. They don't necessarily
understand that asking for "less security stuff getting in the way"
makes things less secure.
Now, granted, they should learn about this stuff before ever sitting
down in front of a computer. But they don't, and likely won't.
IMO Microsoft should take the high road and give them what they NEED
rather than what they ask for. They'd have a far higher-quality product
as a result.
