	If many games have the same problems running without admin
privileges under Vista that they do under XP then for many people running
there everyday computing under admin privileges is a *requirement* not a
choice (given that the games are part of the everyday computing). No home
user wants to faff around logging in and out they just want to switch the
box on and use it - IMHO this is reasonable.
