Presumably the guy who is Administrator will want to run applications too.

If he does, he shouldn't wear his Admin hat.

The user guy may also want to do some tasks that require privileges in
the administrative domain...

Then he should put on the Admin hat.

eg. on Linux that would be burning a CDROM,

...which is clerly an application. To assume that ordinary user should not
be allowed to use an I/O device is simply bad system design.

The brain deficit is in evidence when the user is
left in a quandry which of the two a given software component is.

I don't follow you.

Loss of clear differentiation between the operating system and
the application software was first pushed on unsuspecting public by
Microsotft, then unfortunately adopted by Linux. *This* might have
looked like a good idea at the time...
