this is true, but it's still there.  Even if it's just 1% of users, if 
your game sells 200K units, that's 2000 users that will run into 
problems with your game.  

That gets amplified pretty seriously.  Even our own piddly little 
puzzle games ran into this.  

In fact, I bet that going forward that higher security privileges and 
multiuser configurations will become more important.  One of the most 
common sources of spyware/virii are random things that kids download 
off the internet -- I'm amazed how many people will "click here" just 
because something says "CLICK HERE!"
