Craig writes that he's off the non-admin bandwagon, because QuickBooks refuses to run as non-admin.

If you develop inside a Virtual PC session (as I am full time these days), that solves the problem quite nicely. Your host OS runs your normal applications, like QuickBooks, and your Virtual PC just runs your development tools. My VPCs have Office and Visual Studio in them, along with a few miscellany apps, and that's it. There should be no problem running dev inside a VPC as non-admin, right? Almost no pain, tons of gain.

Food for thought.
