Administrator surfing as a User

I had some trouble surfing in an Administrators context and have decided to
not do so anymore.

I tried to demote my primary user profile to a power user and made it
intolerable to work in Visual Studio 2005, Sql Server 2005, etc., etc....
Here MS advises to Run As... Visual Studio 2005 in an Administrators context;
which gave me an idea.

So I promoted myself back to a machine Administrator and have started
running IE 7 in Run As... mode of an ordinary machine user, aside from having
to log in every time to use IE the workstation remains a lot more accessible
to work with. Even better than cranking up a VM to surf with. And I 've set
my Outlook to not accept anything but text and no attachment (yeah, a far
poorer environment :o( )

Does anyone who really knows security see any issues that this reverse of
security context might affect me (That is an 'Administrator' surfing as a
'User')?
