A windows `Power User` is too privileged for most uses. Ideally Windows
would be great if it followed the Linux way of working more - install as
Admin (thats fine imo) but run as a completely unprivileged (guest or
standard) user.

I've had problems with windows machines not running software as
unprivileged users before now. Causes too many problems due to the
access and thus viruses / malware that get installed.
