What that reminded me of was security being an afterthought with Microsoft.
 All those prompts mentioned in the article are a result of each individual
part of the OS having to verify security with the user, instead of the OS
verifying the user and passing tha tinformation to the various parts of the
OS.

OS-X handles this "non-admin user doing admin things" very much
better than Vista.  My forays into SuSe Linux also have shown that they
handle it better as well.

Once again, Microsoft is playing a poor game of catch-up with other OS's in
the security arena.  And I think that is the gist of his commetns.
