Why is it that some applications require me to type in my admin password for them to install, while other applications don't?
ie: Microsoft Office 2008 and Adobe CS3 require an admin password.
While the majority of other apps don't require it at all.
I think it has something to do with root access, but why would an application even need root access, while others don't?
