Old news, yes...but to some, not everyone.  Taking
users (home, corporate, academic, etc.) out of it,
sysadmins and LEOs are still way behind when it comes
to understanding rootkits.  Certain privileges are
required for the installation of user-mode rootkits,
and in the absence of those privs, the rootkits have
been shown to *not* install.  For some level of detail
about this, check out "Windows Forensics and Incident
Recovery" (http://www.windows-ir.com).
