I run as administrator for some things, and as a user with certain rights for testing. But, that is only when I do light up Vista. Thus far it is just not worth using for my purposes. And I am certainly not going to suggest that my clients run out and get it only to get hammered with grief when they find out how restrictive it is compared to their previous OS (2000 and XP). Nope, I will wait until they get replacement machines with Vista, then try to help where I can. That is one of the reasons I even put Vista on a dual boot machine, to get familiar with it so I could help clients when the time came. The other was to make certain my apps would run under it properly.
