Re: [pavlik to poogimmal]

Why does one need to install from an administrator
account? I can't imagine any reason why a word
processor should need system- or administrator-type
privileges, and requiring them seems like terrible
design. No doubt there may be aspects of a "standard"
full-scale installation that do require broad access;
but not everybody wants to do those things. The
principle of least privilege is important; when it
comes to computers, paranoids live longer.
