What the hell is this about not logging in as Admin??? I mean - let's go to the root of the problem ... why the fuck do I need to log in on my home computer? The whole login concept is plain stupid if we are talking about computers that are used by one or two persons.

Because under a standard user account, if you mess something up, you really can't damage your system. Under an admin, you CAN. If people logged in to their home computers as a regular user, running some worm program probably wouldn't have much effect, since the user doesn't have privledges to install such a thing.

Though it has the least bit of bloat, and is the only OS to qualify running on my pentium II..

This is not very practical. You lose a lot of time rebooting every time you want to do something a little more complex.
You have to be quite a computer idiot to have worm problems, so maybe you're right - logging could be a solution for the average user.

Um... you can just logoff. You don't have to reboot.

Windows 95 has less bloat (and no IE integration).
