I run Vista with UAC enabled. I am a workstation administrator, but everything is run as a standard user. When I'm working on projects that compile and register the COM objects I'm compiling, those sessions are run as administrator. Those sessions I need to right click and select run as admin. Otherwise everything I do day to day works.
Yes, the UAC is an extra step and a full 2 second pause for each time I go into it. Why do I need to run everything as an administrative user?

Oh, wait: I do, too. Windows security requires me to run as Administrator for my system to feel usable. After turning off the blasted UAC, that is.
