Microsoft's delayed Longhorn operating system appears to be taking a page
from the Unix management book by curbing user's administration rights. Mike
Nash, Microsoft's security business and technology unit corporate vice
president, has said Longhorn would accord end-users certain rights and
privileges apparently ending the concept that everyone using their PC is
also the PC's administrator.

Speaking at Microsoft's Worldwide partner conference on Sunday, Nash
indicated the architectural change is part of a move to improve security of
desktop systems by limiting the ability for end-users to install
applications or for malware to take control of a machine, turning it into a
zombie. The move mirrors techniques used in versions of Unix and Linux to
create more limited variations of "the God user" or root account. This
account provides a single user with total control of, and access to, an
entire system's resources.
