As for the store loyalty cards, in my experience you can put whatever information you like into the application form. Nobody checks or confirms the information in it.

We allowed our developers to have local admin access. In exchange, their machines were located on a separate VLAN and all communication routed through an internal firewall. This allowed these uncontrolled machines to do what the developers wanted, but allowed us to easily shut them down in an outbreak. It also gave the developers easy access to logging their traffic and understanding exactly what would be required to have applications run in a restricted environment.
For production systems, the developers had separate admin accounts that would be granted the required access to a system with a logged change request, time limited.
It works reasonably well. Of course the developers could just plug into a non-restricted port, but of course, this is better managed through policy than technology.
Revised step 1. Open your email and send this virus, uh important message, to everyone you know.
There, that should do it.
Frightens me to think how far this would propagate, if sent from the right source, to a suitable target (corporate system to all from the Administrator). I've certainly seem lots of users who would do it.
Gee, could it be that it runs on about 600 million machines with a pile of differnt hardware, operated by clueless drones who click on anything that pops up?
I run a few OpenBSD boxes too. They are firewalls. They sit there and process packets. If I parked my wife in front of it, I bet anything she could figure out a way to fuck it up.
One, the deal MS made with the OEMS wasn't 'you can't use any other OS'. It was 'you will pay us an OS fee for every computer that you sell, period'. It was a brilliant business move on MS's part, but stinky as hell.
Two, I think MS has probably the worst marketing department of all time. They actually have made a ton of cool products, but thanks to their lack of marketing they died on the vine.
Three, ok there is no three.
I agree. Patching an OS is unreasonable. And the fact that they back up what they patch in case you have to remove the patch is unreasonable (source of the bloat in size).
This is why I still run my original Slackware 96 distro. I can't get anything done, but boy it still is running.
How about they do this and they lose their 'Common Carrier' status. They are then responsible and liable for every packet accessed or provided to or from their customers. One pedophile and they are sued out of existence.
And why even bother with such machinations, when you can merely send the user an email with:
Dear Sir,
Please first send this email to everyone you know.
Then, click Start...Run
Type format c:
Thank you,
Your Administrator.
People will unlock PW protected zip files and execute whatever they find inside. No real need for tricky exploits. The bugs are in the user.
But you are comparing the history of an OS that started on budget-be-damned hardware that evolved down (Unix) versus the consumer grade hobby/toy that evolved up. Big difference in the resources you have/had available for the OS to work with.
You can actually get explorer to run as an Admin. All you need to do is:
Set the option to 'Launch folder windows in a seperate process' (otherwise each new explorer window is just part of the master/desktop providing process and RunAs is meaningless)

How many mainframes does Google run? How is their data throughput doing?

Works for me.
So are you saying he'd meet some Windows Admins only if he kept his head in his ass? Very subtle slam on Windows Admins.
And it would be a considerably larger amount of your money. VMWare is very expensive, especially since most virtualization is for test/dev.
It obviously wasn't Windows or that would have been mentioned in the first sentence.

As long as we can continue to obtain rolls of aluminum foil without RFID tags, we should be good to go.
