Access does not automatically mean write/delete access to everything. You can have convenience or security. Pick one.

Convenience makes mistakes like that more likely. UAC at least asks "are you sure?".

Who runs their *nix system always logged on as root?

Ever done "rm -rf /*" when you really meant "rm -rf *" ?

I know of someone who did "chmod -R -x /*" on a live production system. Good thing they had a current mksysb and data backups.
