   There are actually /several/ ways to answer that question...   
      
   First, the Windows operating-system has finally discovered what "security"   
   means, and that running as an Administrator for every little thing is   
   really not a good idea.  Vista is the first Windows release that really   
   embraces this... that grabs on the notion that "even though this is 'your'   
   computer, there are things that 'you' should not be able to do" and will   
   not let go.   
      
   Second, "Paradox is only the tip of the iceberg."  ChimneySweep could expand   
   into the rather-vast uncharted world of dBase(R) derivatives.  BDE's   
   support of "dBase" is only a small part of that world.
