Public flaying for having users run as admin. Microsoft should be commended for 
at
least disabling the Administrator account by default, but should get 40 lashes 
for
having an empty default Administrator password and even allowing empty 
passwords at all.

I disagree that virus protection is strictly necessary on the workstation, at 
least
real-time, when the network and systems are adequately locked down. They tend 
to bog
down the system and cause users and IT guys pain. Virus protection on incoming 
email
at the server level is a no-brainer, though.
