    6 I think the convention on Windows is to not care much about user account management or security and just run everything as an administrator (though in Vista+ you still need to pass UAC), and not worry about limited accounts being unable to install software without having someone else come enter a password, and to dump everything in a system-wide location without even considering per-user installations. Which all seems like a terrible convention to me, I'm OK with breaking from it :)
