In theory, the worst that can happen is that the unpriv'd account will get raped, but the Win7 install will be OK.
IMO, you should still install an anti-virus for the belt-and-suspenders stuff, since you can still have compromised personal information if an unpriv'd account is owned. MS Security Essentials isn't bad and doesn't bug you much.
If you score high enough on the ASVAB test (IIRC 90th percentile & above), recruiters are apt to push you into Intelligence. That's what the recruiter who reviewed my test scores in high school said.
Assuming he enlisted right out of high school, he could have been assigned to an intelligence unit (or assigned intelligence duties in a line unit) for approx. four years, which is plenty of time to get enough experience to be a "specialist".
It's not "free". It's paid for with property taxes levied on all property owners in the district.
There's also all the supplies you have to buy for your kids, such as paper, pens, crayons, and gym uniforms. These aren't covered anymore because (depending on your ideology)
* nobody wants to pay enough tax to cover them, or
* school districts have spent too much money on incidentals like sports buildings & equipment.
This. Being able to make a unified image with minimal pain is a huge win over XP, which had to care whether a given computer supported ACPI, or how many processing units it had, and no having to pre-integrate a million different SATA drivers just so the installer can see the hard drive.

It is absolutely insane to migrate an existing XP installation to a Windows 7 installation on the same box.
Depends. If (like us) you got new machines with WinXP well into the Vista era, those newer boxes are quite capable of running Win7. We've got computers that are four years old[1] which can run 7 once they've gotten a RAM upgrade, and their RAM is fairly cheap because it's DDR2.
The user experience is decent. Not super fast, but if you're just needing to do typical office-worker tasks you're not going to have a terrible time.
We're not doing this en masse, just when a computer gets rotated in anyway for maintenance, say when someone quits and the computer goes to someone else.

Which sort of "off" switch, though? .30-06? 7.62x54R?
Age is orthogonal to maturity, or have the magazine's editors gotten over their adolescent fascination with boobies?
Are you a Lisp programmer?

Dear god yes, and most of the rest are just stupid. It's pretty rare to find a poster to those things that is sincere, intelligent, and coherent.
Funny how often I wind up using those tags.
But then the post wouldn't be sensational, wouldn't get as many views, and would leave you with a positive view of Slashdot editors.
Maybe the Navy would let you arrange a demonstration with USS Wisconsin's 16" main battery.
My previous post didn't take into account privilege-escalation attacks, of which there may be some undiscovered/unreported ones.
It's best to have multiple layers of defense.

It's easier to say they're identical than to expend time thinking.
No need for -r when you're using -a, at least on GNU cp.
I'd wager there's some software package the district has in mind, and this package is Mac-only.

Perhaps they could borrow one of the Confederate^WCommemorative Air Force's planes. I'd volunteer for that mission.
They're using DC-8s, man! That and the fiery reentry is supposed to make us remember about our Thetan past.

and hundreds of terabytes per day. Any word on what they're using for a database back-end?
J. Random User doesn't care about partitions, and doesn't want to fool around with the things. Eventually drives will commonly be bigger than 2TB.
Also 640K should be enough for anyone.
Well, you know. Got to make sure XP will boot on these things.
