I fully agree with you on that one. However, security doesn't necessarily 
start with the OS. It stands and falls with the users and especially the 
security rules and guidelines which the admin puts up. 

With so many people being used to do it the Windows way there is little hope 
in that regards, or as someone famous once put it: "Common sense ain't that 
common". ;o)
