It's because of the widespread prevalence of this sort of attitude 
amongst Windows users that viruses and other forms of malware are such a 
big problem in that environment. I'm afraid you're unlikely to find much 
support for your suggestion in the Linux world, though there is *some*. 
The "Linspire" distribution defaults to having users run as root, so 
permissions aren't going to get in your way there. You might want to 
have a look at that.
