interesting, i recall some thing about NT as being approved to a govermemnt security std that i recall as beeing a private lan and no internet. it's been a long time so perhaps my memory is at fault.

but for sure i agree that the old "run as an admin" was never a good thing.

as for the VMS system I will say that I never used it so i can't comment on that.
