With some programs it does indeed make a difference. Under XP, a lot of
programs expected the user to be running as an administrator, with admin
priveleges. Bad/sloppy programming practice I'm afraid, as the vast
majority of programs should not really need admin rights. It's these
programs that Vista will catch out ;)
