> Well in 2006 when those ads were first being shown, XP was still the newest version of Windows and it had no privilege separation That's probably false. Windows introduced this feature in Windows 2000 (from 1999) and you could define a "normal" user and a "power" user. Only when you needed to install something would you run as the power-user. This all worked inside the same desktop session. That maybe only 1% of the users (the "paranoid" ones) used it, doesn't mean it wasn't there.
