why not? Its *VERY* standard procedure on all sorts of systems to run
RDBMS servers as a dedicated user.
there are all kinda system accounts already in XP used by various system
services, whats one more? note, these are *NOT* regular user accounts, they
don't typically show up on the "Welcome" login screen. instead of the
stupified Control Panel -> User Accounts, try admin tools -> computer
management -> local users and groups, which is the *real* NT Users panel...
