Joe, you're wrong, you can install the apps as Administrator and then
login as User and still use the apps. There are only a couple standard
apps where I know they won't run as a user account (QuickBooks being one),
but most apps will RUN after installed by an administrator account.

There is also a run-as ability that you must have missed.

My mother in-law runs a small business and unless using QuickBooks, she
runs as a User account all the time.

So, when you want to install apps/updates/make system changes you logon as
Administrator and only do those things. When you want to fetch/send email
or browse the web or play games or use Office 2003 or PhotoShop or other
apps you logon as User account level and it works fine.
