Administrator account disabled by default

I believe I read that the administrator account was disabled by default. The Measureup Exam indicates it is the Guest account. Clarification???

    Nevermind, the MS site indicates the following:

    SYMPTOMS
    You notice that the administrator account does not appear on the Windows Vista Welcome screen.

    CAUSE
    By default, the following conditions are true in Windows Vista:
    • The built-in administrator account is disabled.

    • The built-in administrator account cannot log on to the computer in safe mode.
    Note In some cases, Windows Vista may determine, during an upgrade from Microsoft Windows XP, that the built-in administrator account is the only active local administrator account. In this situation, Windows Vista leaves the built-in administrator account enabled. Additionally, Windows Vista puts this account into Admin Approval mode.

    Unless I am misunderstanding something, it must be an error in the Measureup Exam.
