ITWire: "Linux users can, at times, be the worst kind of ingrates, whining and complaining about what they perceive as missing features in a free operating system. My advice to all such whingers: spend 10 days using the latest version of Windows and you'll realise that you are living in a world of relative bliss."

You don't think its dated? All user/superuser really has going for it is that it is simple. By using a MAC based system, you immediately elimenate stuff like buffer overflows, and seriously mitigate the damage that a compromised process can do.
Personally, I think the best approach is what Fedora does with its "targetted" policy. It locks down system processes, while using the more simple user/superuser approach for the user space. keeps things simple for users, while still leveraging many of the benefits of a more modern solution.

>it's just incredibly ignorant to state that it's outdated.
You must be a technical type. Claiming that an old paradigm is outdated is perfectly natural marketing speak. But I agree with you.
