as far as i can tell that still doesn't equate to forcing or even
asking the user to create a non-administrative account...

and if the red background happens to be on a redhat distro then the
user is probably going to think it's normal...

Mandrake 9.2 uses red for root, blue for non-admin. The setup process
creates a non-admin account.

for AV tools, it's them. Not the users who are victims of MS's
failures.

Hmmmm. Nope!

There are viruses that affect linux ,unix, Amiga and Macintosh machines.

Trojans that exploit java vulnerabilities in non MS Java software.

Worms that spread via non MS operating systems.

Viruses will be around no matter what OS is being used.

So 99.999% of the AV industry instead of 100%. Big deal.
