Likewise as in various Linux distributions, a Guest account would be the perfect option to demonstrate the device and the operating system without risking unwanted manipulations of the system, accidental data deletions or even, if important, leaking of private information.

In short, offer the option to create a guest account, tap it, let the system reboot and lend it over (in a "secure" state) to "other" hands to play with and learn. What does the community think about it?

You could extend this feature wish to a real multi-user system. A different user could be yourself going to work. At home another user could be your partner or kids. To massively simplify the feature-request only one user at a time can log in.

@ibins Not sure. I am specifically thinking of an Guest account. Some Home/Work profiles could be just some kind of "profiles", or Other Halves (?) instead of creating multiple user accounts (multiple /user/ directories, etc.).

There is a shopdemo and a shopdemo for DNA in the repos, don't know if any good for a showoff without risking your data.

Can't trace any "shopdemo" in the Store? Is it only via cli to be retrieved?
