In the win32 user's sight, the current implementation is very dogmatic.
While there *has* to be some dogmatism about security, IMHO in the case
of account to run pgsql on this is up to the administrator, not us. We
should recommend using a separate user, support it in the installer by
default as comfortable as possible, but enforcing it is regarded as
non-native and thus suspicious in the win32 world.
Running as admin is so common for Windows, you'd never see complaints
about that aspect. Even programs *requiring* admin rights are widely
accepted (with some minor grumbling).
It's another universe...
