That stupid mindset is keeping Windows and its applications back. It's not
a question of trust. It's a question of belts and suspenders. WHEN and not
if the inevitable worm, or virus, or keylogger, spyware, or rootkit attacks,
a limited user provides another wall of protection.
Intuit is not completely foolish about this issue. Intuit did improve
TurboTax. TurboTax 2004 will run under limited user, although it can't
upgrade itself if there's a patch. So Intuit definitely improved TurboTax
in this regard. Older TurboTax IIRC used to come up and say it requires
administrative privileges.
I currently have the users at my offices using RUNAS /savecred to run QB.
