Public flaying for having users run as admin. Microsoft should be commended for at least disabling the Administrator account by default, but should get 40 lashes for having an empty default Administrator password and even allowing empty passwords at all. I disagree that virus protection is strictly necessary on the workstation, at least real-time, when the network and systems are adequately locked down. They tend to bog down the system and cause users and IT guys pain. Virus protection on incoming email at the server level is a no-brainer, though.
