Windows-7 allows me to create a separate virtual without Admin rights. Sometimes it's annoying to have to switch IDs to change something, but it's already caught a couple programs trying to download without my permission, actually without my knowledge. I believe operating as admin is what caused me to get infected with the virus from hell, last time. So I put up with the occasional inconvenience... but that doesn't keep me from saying naughty words.
