but normal, day to day, tasks should never be run with full privs.

Good point.

I guess it's a difference of opinion as to what you consider a day-to-day task and what Microsoft considers a day-to-day task. To you, installing Emplode is a day-to-day task. To Microsoft, software installation is an admin task, which is why the third-party installer bombs if you're not an admin.

At this point I hope the empeg guys don't remove the aspect that I can install emplode at work without admin rights. That would really majorly suck :) as I like to download mp3's here and pop em on my empeg. It really is nice when I'm able to do that.

But that's just my personal opinion
