Microsoft probably makes more drivers than anything else. Most drivers are based on their Drivers SDK. Then you have the basic VGA driver for unrecognised video cards, Microsoft Mice and joysticks, etc.
And the quantity of viruses IS a direct relation to market share. Prove otherwise.

There is no possible means for a poor or middle class Mexican citizen to get citizenship here, let alone a visa to visit legally.
If they could, don't you think they'd do it? They would be here in droves - legally.
You can't just apply for citizenship and expect to be accepted. If that where the case, then half of latin america would be citizens here. A long list of reasons make getting a citizenship here for anyone from latin america nearly impossible. And, if they can, its an incredibly long, painful and expensive process.
Most Mexican's can't even get visa to visit here. The only way they can visit legally is to be accepted to a foreign study program, be sent here for work from a multinational company, or prove they have over $25,000 in the bank that will remain in Mexico. My wifes parents can't come here to visit us, or see their grandchildren. Of course, if they were from Germany, etc., it would be no problem.

Well, to me it sounded as if she where saying that by default, new account where automatically given administrative rights.
I do agree with you, but I wonder how things would be for a typical joe sixpack end user for their home Linux installation? Don't you think they'd create the root account during installation, and then continue to use that account for subsequent access?
Most Linux users are technically savy, thus this issue doesn't often exist. But, as Linux's popularity grows, the issue may become the same.

So, you're saying that when you install Linux that you can do it without creating or ever using a root account? Its exactly the same thing. Now do YOU get it?
With Windows, one Administrative account is created during installation. Subsequent accounts created do not have administrative rights by default.
Please explaing how you can install Linux or OSX without creating an administrtive account?

Runs on root? What are you talking about. With Win NT, 2000, and XP, go into local users and groups and add a user. Does the user automatically have administrative rights? No. Does the user have power user rights? No.
If your using Active Directory, add a user in there. Does the user automatically have any kind of administrative rights? No.
If you're still running Windows 98, well that's your problem
