I've been to their headquarters in the San Jose area and had meetings
with some of their networking folks. Give them a chance. Seriously.
They are dead serious about supporting non admin and Vista. Granted
Vista is pushing that in a big way... but I've had enough meetings and
calls to give them the benefit of the doubt this time.
For me... this is the bellweather tipping event in "non admin" world.
>From now on I can say to folks "Well Intuit goes on record as
supporting Non-admin... why can't you?" This is one of THE major
vendors in my space and they've come out on record as no longer
demanding admin rights. That's a huge move in my book. Don't discount
the impact, nor the fact that they are now setting a good example for
other vendors.
Not to mention, I've personally tested this (and found the 'dat' bug
myself). I can attest that it works.
P.S. If you ever have an incident with a clueless support tech...
holler ... as I have ways to get feedback back to folks.

As per normal it's probably wrong.
Intuit's
developers AND support folks are clueless when it comes to permissions.
Their answer when I escalated a case about Quickbooks 2006 Enterprise
users
needing Power User rights was that they really just needed Full
Controll
over HKCR! (The audacity of calling a product Enterprise and requiring
elevated privileges on terminal services didn't seem to make much
impact
with them)
I told them to shove it and tracked
down the two keys outside HKLM\Software\Intuit that they actually
needed.
>From what I remember you could get around the licensing problem by
copying
the license files to each users profile under the appropriate path,
doesn't
look like that would be true for this version though, so they have
actually
made negative progress in that regard.
