Windows Microsoft is banking on enhancements to what it has dubbed the fundamentals to entice enterprises to upgrade to the next version of Windows, known as Vista. The company will use upcoming industry shows to sing the praises of improvements to the Windows networking stack and secure networking techniques such as server and domain isolation to sell both Vista and Longhorn, the planned update to Windows Server.

Ubuntu is the only distro I know of that has the root account totally disabled by default. Maybe I am wrong, but I don't think most other distros do that. At least none of the other ones I have installed do. They all enable the root account on install, but they also all do warn you about the dangers of using it for every day use and prompt you to create a normal user account.

It's not completely disabled. It's there, the password is just set to something random during the install. You can change that with a simple "sudo passwd root" as the user created during the install.
