Think outside the square Larry.

Think "cached passwords".  Think "what use are they if a program cannot 
ask for them?".

Think "key logger".

Think "what do minimum privilege and XP Home have in common?"

Hell, just _think_.

It's not difficult -- well, if you work at Redmond it may be, but in 
the real world we pretty much knew how to avoid writing really insecure 
software for quite some time before Microsoft put the opposite into 
practise, implementing it all as a proof of concept in the guise of an 
OS that was then accidentally sent to the marketing group instead of 
the  "fix the security flaws" group as a test for the latter...
