The Windows information display might be useless, but the policy framework isn't. It's granular and allows you to do exactly what we would want here.

Exploring options for the openSUSE security policy Posted May 25, 2012 13:53 UTC (Fri) by vonbrand (subscriber, #4458) [Link] Peter Gutman's phising guidelines say exactly the same as the grandparent: Users have been conditioned to just check "Don't ask again" and click OK on popups, without looking twice (let alone reading). Plus almost all Windows machines I've seen have the lone user as administrator, and no password. Sure, Windows provides the mechanism to manage the machine securely, but it is so much hassle almost nobody does it. Same for Linux as it stands today, you can cobble up something using group permissions and sudo(1), but it requieres an expert to set up for your exact use case, and not even Linus bothers.

Probably because, in the case of the PERSONAL {desk,lap,palm}top computer, it makes no sense at all. What I see lacking still (for any platform) is a nice policy (and a nice, simple, proven, etc... policy editor) for corporate *top computers.
