Presently, on Windows 7, I have to right-click and "Run As Administrator" and then approve the process via UAC to get anything done under the default --global setting, in much the same way I would have to launch a root terminal and provide my password within GNOME (a la gksu) or other *nix environments (Windows doesn't have anything like sudo, as far as I know). Since it works essentially the same as *nix does, as of Windows 7, I see no reason for a different default.
