NeoSmart has published their Windows Vista RC1 Monster Review, which tries a kind of "thorough overview" of everything Vista will ship with this close to RTM. Especially interesting is the brief security run-down. And of course, there are screenshots as always.

It’s even better than Linux. I never thought I’d live to the day when I can honestly say “Windows security for user accounts is much better than that of Linux.” Scary? Unbelievable? It’s true. Linux has two types of accounts: Normal, and Super-User. That’s like having “Restricted User” and “Administrator” on Windows, with nothing in between. On Windows, there are a hundred different in-between accounts, and users can actually log on as Administrator for day-to-day activities. Even more so, on Linux when you request higher privileges

You can then proceed and do whatever you like. On Windows, it’s a per-task deal. Both are secure, but, believe it or not, Windows is more secure - from that aspect anyway.
I heard something similar on windows XP, don't know why its still not working...
