You must also like MS windows with all of it's virii/worm spreading capabilities as that is what you are asking for here. What happens when you need to remove someone from being able to update software? I see no means of removing them from ZEN.
Security, security, security, security -must- always be number one when designing software. If people want something to run like "windows" tell them to install MS windows. -NOT- requiring the root password when installing software opens up a huge hole in security.
