Whatever I'm enthused about at the moment ;-p
Windows administrator privileges
2012-12-17 - Category: computingI know, I've been bitching about software on FB all day. But I have another one.
You know how on a lot of the mainstream Linux distributions, when you log into
the X Window System as root, there's a bunch of red, flashing lights of some
sort that say "you're logged in as root! be extremely careful!" or "gee, you
should create a regular user account and use that instead for security
purposes!" So, why doesn't the Windows operating system do this when you log in
with administrator privileges? I'm getting tired of fixing people's Windows
boxes who've been solely using an administrator account since they first fired
up their brand new PC. Maybe the Internet wouldn't be the virus ridden mess that
it is today if Microsoft had included this one, basic installation step: create
a standard user account so you don't hose your system after 5 seconds of
connecting to the net.
