To be honest that is the only way to convert a windoze user to linux.
If u think about it you login to windows you can do anything u want, you are running as root all the time.
If you want the same freedom in Linux, you *have* to make the user login a root as windoze users are not used to have restricted access (so to speak).
This is bad..very bad.
And if Linux want the acceptance of the average windoze home user it has to do this Most home users don't know what a monitor is unless you stammped it on their head in big wobbly letters, so you get thru to them that them must never run as root..mm let me see
