You must also like MS windows with all of it's virii/worm spreading capabilities as that is what you are asking for here.
Never worked with Windows, so I don't know what you mean ;-)
What happens when you need to remove someone from being able to update software? I see no means of removing them from ZEN. Then it's a design mistake of ZEN, which has to be corrected.
Security, security, security, security -must- always be number one when designing software. If people want something to run like "windows" tell them to install MS windows. -NOT- requiring the root password when installing software opens up a huge hole in security. You forgot, that installing without the root password is not the default. So root/the user has to add a user/himself. Security vs. usabiltity is a never ending theme, but that's not the most important one: Even more important than security is _choice_.
True, if you want a less secure OS use MS windows. If you want a more secure OS use linux
If a home user does not want to type the root-password each time he is installing a program, then this is his choice.
Then just login as root all the time. Again, linux is not MS windows and should -not- be made to act like it. Ken
