You left out an intermediate possibility: implementation realities.
                                                                                          
I thought I covered it with "Another societal benefit is that Linux
users are used to running as non-admins."  Thanks for the extra
clarifications.

Apologies for missing that ... scrolling error in module 'dtalk'.                                                       
                                    

While that's important to protecting _your_ system, of course that
isn't much help to those of us that are receiving a hail of
virus-infected emails
                                                                                           
To most corporations, a user damaging his/her own data, and data that
he/she is allowed access to, can be as damaging as a root invasion.
                                                                                           
Agreed on both counts.
                                                                                           
Cheers ... -d
