Considering every end-user installable commercial piece of software has minimum and recommended ratings, it seems like all developers or at the minimum, qa or documentation, should automatically be firing up the app in a minimum-rating or recommended-rating virtual machine rather than on the real hardware.

If customer support's management was looking out for themselves, they'd be firing up the QA builds and logging bugs before the product launched. At least that way when a customer had the same complaint, support would know there was a bug already filed on it and could close the call faster.

I've seen articles involving purposely reducing the rights your software has, regardless of whether they run it as administrator. I haven't done much about it, but that way, any security issues you may have later on can't be exploited as much as if they had administrator rights.

I'm sure this would also help in ensuring administrators and users get the same ride though.
