okay, i have been an NT user for the longest time and have beta tested
2000. however, besides my general urge to play around with a system, i
found it impossible to use a workstation appropriately without being
the administrator. i know that's against the policy, but i trusted
myself well enough to do so. the point is that i don't know *one*
person who runs NT/2000 and who isn't logged on with an account with
admin privs by default. So my argument does count to some extent...
