MS Limited User Accounts are first and foremost aimed at "Security".

Principle in this primary aim, is that Limited user accounts - cannot install most new software, including ActiveX components from Websites that require ActiveX for user interaction with the Website.

Beyond that limitation, Limited User Accounts are able to operate almost all of the Applications that have been installed on the machine, except those that expressly require Administrative authority.

Limiting Software, requires an additional approach, namely Group Policies.
Many who have become "familiar and friendly" with Group Policies are very pleased and find that they have much greater control over their own machine, including their own use and use by others.
