An "XP machine" needn't contain a video card that can "change the
orientation of the computer screen image" to be considered an ""XP
machine".

Has *anyone* disagreed with this?

You did...

No, Steve, I do not accept you as my spokesperson. Deal with it.

....

Do you have any thoughts on the fact that, at least in the case I described,
a non-Admin user can alter settings for other users?

As can they alter settings on a Mac. Big f*cking deal.

How can a non-Admin user alter settings for other users on a Mac... assuming
they are not, of course, using an admin ID and password!

I look forward to seeing your wise words on this, Steve. :)
