Microsoft disses Windows security to sell...more Windows

| Read between the lines and Microsoft is saying, "Our old security model was
| horrendous. defaulting to have users run as administrators? Foolishness! Oh,
| and guess what? Most of what we offer in Vista is not very new and hence not
| worth the upgrade, but since XP was a leaky ship, you'd better jump to Vista
| because it's Very Secure...at least, we'll say it is for now, until we need
| to upgrade you to our next OS."
