Lindows ain't too bad, if you buy the subscription, and have a broadband
connection to get all the apps for it. Just like with any linux, you have
to create a new user once its installed, or you are root, and as you say,
insecure as can be.
They gave it away for a while, a few months back, I tried it, and its no
better, no worse than most other distros. It is a bit nicer, having some
names make sense, and utilities that we all get used to having are right
there, rather than having to be dug up, and put on the menu bar by hand.
