Which only proves the point that Windows security is poor and that you
are so sold on the MS way of doing things that you can't get your brain
around the concept of better security.
All it proves is how ignorant you are of things other than those blessed by
the Glorious Leader.

Windows' biggest problem is installing the default user as the admin. Don't
run as an admin and security problems vanish. Now, if we can only get these
idiot developers to stop coding their products to only run if the user is an
admin.
The problem is only partially idiot developers. I would
Absolutely, don't login as admin, etc. It shouldn't be needed
for day to day use for normal office applications. Would MS
Office need to be admin to be usable?
No. Every staffer runs as a lowest permission user at my .org. Office runs
just fine.

This is demonstrated by your complaing of too many steps. Windows
does
not need these steps because there is no real security there. It is
like
a kid's computer you buy for $10 at Toys-R-Us: lots of dials and
buttons, but
No, Windows just takes care of these housekeeping chores for you. I might
have to change the name on the profile folder, but that's about it. It's
smart enough to know that the admin account name has been changed.

That's a given, but I keep coming upon issues on the Mac that are nothing
but hoop jumping, compared to administering a PC. Change the admin name on
a PC? That takes seconds.

*40* steps to do this. 40. If you don't make things worse doing it.

This is not just a name written in a box on the screen. You also must
take care of things like file access permissions and the keychain. I
guess since the Windows system is inherently insecure there is less
involved in changing a username.

I finally decided to see what all the hoopla was about, so I did a
little Googling
myself. The horrendous 40 step process for changing the admin name on
a Mac turns out to be an Apple support document with instructions for
changing
the admin name, and even with this method you could have
