On every XP install that I've seen from every major OEM (Dell, Compaq, Gateway, etc) fast user switching is on by default and every user is an administrator. Not "on most"; on every single one. Furthermore, these machines don't have actual XP OS install CDs, they usually come with "restore" CDs that just return the PC to this same initial state if they're used, which they almost never are. I have never seen a home user, that is to say change that setting or create a user who is actually just a "User". Not once, ever. > It might make sense if you actually had knowledge of an OS before you > criticize it.
