I would prefer it if I had different accounts with different levels of
access on my home MS machine. I don't like installs being able to write
stuff anywhere making complete uninstalls impossible in some cases.
I don't like the fact that whenever I run something it can trash my system
or use my network connection to leak information.
Unix isn't perfect, but having accounts with different levels of trust
is a lot better that what MS does even for machines that are used just by
one person.
