Well, we run quite a lot of apps under unprivviledged accounts and they all function fine - office, graphics, internet, e-mail, scientific, databases, CAD/CAM, etc.
So if you have problems with this then it's either yours or developer's fault, not Microsofts, since Windows does provide what you need to develop applications that function fine under ordinary accounts. Of course this doesn't apply to apps that require direct access to hardware - in that case you need to run them as Administrator/root.
