Least-Privilege User Accounts To Be Part of Longhorn Security

The idea of limiting user priviledges on a system or within a network has been around forever. You can do it now in Windows 2000 and XP to an effective degree, though most users ignore this and log on with priveledges far in excess than necessary.

Apparently Microsoft is going to modify their implementation of this to allow regular user accounts easier access to some management features while still seriously curtailing access to the heart of things. Software developers will have to go along to make things work as intended, but this shows to me that MS is serious about tightening up their OS.
