To quote Steve from an earlier message in this thread:

"I can, from a user account, hold down the control, option and Apple keys
on
a modern Mac while pressing the number 8 and it will "screw with" others
(who
may want to run graphics apps or whatever)... and it'll stay that way when
I
log out. There is no video card in this equation..."

Assuming that does in fact stay in effect when a normal user logs off,
that's
the same "problem" you're talking about with display drivers on Windows.

Well, it's not the exact same problem but it does contain the ability to
"screw with" a user even after logging out. A person logging back in to
that
account couldn't really use an app like Photoshop or Painter with the
screen
whacked out like this. I once did this to my wife and she thought the video
circuitry was crapping out;)

My prediction... Snit will change the criteria from his OP:

"Here is the weakness: I can change the orientation from my user account,
even
a non-Admin, and the orientation will stay altered even when I log out... "

Watch for the conditions regarding 'accounts' that will undoubtedly appear
that stray from this 1st post;)

Wow, Steve, how poorly your predictions are.

Bull. I called it perfectly.

So... any minute now you're going to create a thread entitled
"OSX: Cool feature with a weakness"... right? I mean, you were wrong
about XP so you should be retracting this thread and apologizing while
you create the new thread that truly *is* a part of the 'experience on
an OSX machine'.
