We'll also need to decide the Windows equivalent of the 'don't run as root' rule - or even if we want to enforce it at all, given that it appears to be very common practice on Windows to run all services as a user with Administrator privileges.



I assume we will relax that for Win32. I don't think non-Administrators
have the same isolation on Win32 as non-root users have on Unix.


While it's best practice for *ix to work as non-root, many windows users will be administrator-equivalent. The "Local System account" commonly used to run services is even more privileged than the local admin. So the restriction to non-admins won't make too much sense.
