Not just local software
Local software is, for me, less of a problem, since I'm the one writing it, and can therefore do so apprpriately for the task and enviroment required.
However, COMMERCIAL software continues to be the biggest headache. Avid editing applications, various encoders, etc. either fail due to setting the wrong security on registry keys, or (escpecially in the case of Avid) REQUIRE the user to be an administrator just to get the software to even run -- even when there is only a minor service access which might be elevated to do the job.
Until more commercial developers are forced to operate within a properly secured environment, not of this will change. It will be interesting to see what happens once Vista is in place, and these developers address its security environment. But I, for one, am not holding my breath.....
