Hi there
very interesting -- but it's actually much easier to keep a computer secure believe it or not for "Super users" etc as they tend to know what they are doing.
Conceptually you might be tempted to think these users are more likely to "Break" security as they tend to have a lot more knowledge than "the average joe" but it doesn't happen like that in practice.

But making a computer "Userproof" for the masses is HUGELY more difficult -- people on home computers want to perform actions which would make most "security people" cringe in their beds (assuming the have time to sleep when not "fire fighting"). It's not easy balancing "Useability" with "Security" - especially for Home users.

A corporate Network can usually keep a much better handle on what people actually use their computers FOR.

You aren't, whatever Virus software / other measures is in place, going to stop people from downloading all sorts of "???" from the Net -- W7 Builds for example and running all sorts of dubious programs.

In general security is only as good as the people using the equipment.

Still it's good to see the issue being decently addressed instead of that Cack handed way they tried in VISTA which was so bad people just switched it off completely.
