In the last day or so I read an article by one of the columnists in
one of the e-mags I get.

He commented that though MS set up accounts with admin and user
acess so that users couldn't shoot themselves in the foot as
easily, BUT that about 70% of the application programs required
admin privledges.

Ah found it.  It's in the latest Brian Livingston issue.

Go to http://briansbuzz.com/w/040603.

The comment is '90% of the software wont install unless you are
adminstrator" and then added "70%  percent of the software won't
run properly unless the user is an administrator, and that's an
optimistic number".

It's a decent free newsletter if you aren't familiar with it.
