I've been wondering something for a while now...
I've read so much about how risky it is to log on as root, but how different is it from the average windows user, who almost all log on with administrative privileges (though they are not necessarily logged in as administrator)? I'm wondering because they don't seem extremely different, yet no big deal is made about people using windows with administrative privileges. I'm sure there must be a reason and I'm hoping someone more familiar with the specifics can fill me in.
