I wonder if that is organization specific? I run as a limited user (unless I need to elevate privileges for special occasions) and have used Dev Studio on probably a dozen Win 7 64-bit machines in this configuration without issue. DS is (more or less) just a Java process. If your paths are all set and DS can write to the directory it needs to then it just works (without running as an admin). I haven't done extensive testing but I think it only need write access to the workspace path which defaults to a location in your Window profile where you should already have write access.
"seems like there's a difference between running as an account in the Administrator group and as running as "the administrator"" This is true. In Win 7 even if you are an admin on the machine you still need to explicitly run some processes as administrator. Similar to being a limited user on a *NIX machine and using sudo to elevate your privileges for a specific task.
