Thanks again for helping with the education. This has been one heck of a monkey for us to try and shake. LindowsOS has supported users in every version since our release! It's been ultra easy to add users since our second BETA release. It's true we don't FORCE users to not run as root, but we don't believe "forcing" users to do anything is a very good idea. We like to offer more choices, not less.
I just installed Fedora and it on the first bootup configures somethings and asks if you want to create a user. (root was created during the installation.) It does not require you to create a user but it does recomend that you do. I think that if Lindows did this it would allay many of the security concerns and users would still have a choice.
