yeah, it's way more advanced... and the security blows
every single time you do something that involves the OS (pretty much everything) it asks for admin confirmation.

and to answer "how come", identity theft, insider secrets, fraudulent credit card purchases... to name a few

It's more advanced and should work better than XP. You can turn off the prompt that always asks for permission as well.
