Obviously I followed your logic in configuring the new XP box. Except I ran
into numerous problems with programs not running or not running correctly
from a limited-user account! Even worse - calls to various software-support
groups were met with that "deer in headlights look" -
This was very true in the early days I'm not sure it still holds out.
I'm currently running under a LUA and everything works fine. The whole
Microsoft Office package as you would expect (or not...), multimedia
applications (video, mp3, images), chat, email (NOT Outlook), Google
Desktop and Earth, ..., just to name the more popular ones. I don't
run games and those are really picky in terms of security settings (in
fact, any system setting). Game developers have an I-own-the-box
attitude when they program and expect no limitations of any sort. In
the gaming world it's not uncommon for users to build high-end custom
boxes just for games and so the mentality strengthens.
Sorry for the long story, but wanted to throw in my $39.95 - and two-cents.
Think it's about beer-thirty now so gotta run! ;-)
Cheers mate, you NEED that beer!
