I've seen any number of articles complaining this is the fault of coders
too lazy to work through the issues of user rights as provided by
Windows. It does require some extra work, they say, but should be the
standard procedure, as it is in the Unixland. Funny how the profit
motive serves the customer more poorly. I've not seen a really good
analysis from either an economic or other Social Science approach as to
why that is so.
