RE: Administrator Accounts

["Larry Seltzer" <larry () larryseltzer com>]

No question the auto-prompting for admin credentials is important and
Windows is years behind on this, but as long as the user really does have
these credentials they are open to social engineering attack for it. A home
user has to have their own admin credentials available, but in a
properly-administered system I don't see why an enterprise user needs them,
even on a notebook.
