Heres one.. most of the time I spend cleaning up windows machines is not because of software problems. Usually it's the user acidentally erasing something or installing some program that just modified the boot files by accident.
Protection makes the system easier not harder. You can add SUID aplications to preform administrative tasks such as upgrading / config and be sure that the user won't accidentally erase the system.
I've had users absolutely paranoid of breaking something on my systems it's very reasuring for me to be able to point at the power switch and say "see that? don't touch it and the sustem will be fine"
