<cough> Admin rights </cough> Seriously, if you can't give up giving admin rights for political reasons consider creating an account which has local admin rights that users can use and move users standar accounts to nonadmin rights. In my environment, we were running with admin rights, but we afford our employees enough freedom to install software to do their jobs as necessary. Creating an account with admin rights was the best way for us to move forward. Employees are still bound to AUPs which stipulate that software not interfere with business use of applications. I don't care for the common local admin account myself, but I don't chase malware nearly as often. It's been once in the two years since the change.
