On a server, absolutely. On a desktop, the user is usually the administrator anyways. UAC exists on Windows land and the Administrator account is disabled for a reason.

I disagree. Desktop users run a lot of untrusted software. Allowing software to gain Administrator privileges with a single click from the user is a mistake. It doesn't follow the principle of least privilege where the user should only give apps permission for what they need to do and not more.
