That's a really long article. Does it make this claim somewhere? Because when I got my hands on the wife's new Vista x64 comp 2-3 days after her, she was running as the only named Admin. She wouldn't have changed anything unless prompted. I expected to find her as a User; she wasn't, so I changed it.
