As a system administrator, I have used Windows on the desktop since 2.0 and used to run Windows XP at home for my family. I use Linux and Windows servers at work and prefer (Red Hat) Linux for its security, stability and usefulness in a company with a diminishing IT budget. More than a year ago I started experimenting with Linux as a desktop solution and after installing and using more than 7 different distros along with many various versions of those distros, I found a distro that is doing everything its suppose to do, right out of the box. I'm talking about the pleasantly suprising Lindows 4.0.

personally I always run my (suse 8.2) as root.
when I want to install new software, I don't need to login as root, when I want to edit some files (or add a new mount point for my new digital camera, I don't have to log in as root) When I want to sync with my Pocketpc I.... ok there the problem starts as there are several programs that will NOT let you run as root for some stupid reason.
I want to use my computer, I want to fiddle and I want the minimum of fuss while I learn my new OS. typing in this poxy root password is idiotic - I know the risks and I accept them, but in all honesty, it's not MUCH of a risk is it?
Lindows has the right idea, just wish I could try it out before I fork out the cashola (having already bought Suse 8.2 I'm not that keen to buy another Linux os to "test)
