True, but now Linux fan boys like me can take a different tack: The Worst Bug Ever in Linux is patched. UAC still has a gaping intentional loophole so Microsoft can let Notepad.exe run as admin. When a security hole is found in Linux, it gets fixed. When one is found in Windows, Microsoft either clam up, blame the users, or issue a patch years late.
