Some of these apps needlessly require admin rights (or more limited privileges that pose an equivalent danger). This is one of the things Vista will alleviate with Application Impact Management (AIM) is the scenario whereby a non-admin user whose software attempts to write to protected directories/registry hives will have their own copy of that data (instead of being denied access/altering the global copy) from that point forward.
Yee. Hah. Polyinstantiated files. This is going to make the help desk shit a brick until they get up to speed on the concept. The user looks at the file, it's borked, the admin looks and it's Just Fine. ;)
