Microsoft Antispyware realtime-protection should have the
ability to protect all user account and limited accounts,
I would like to see this functionality to the next beta 2
or the final version. (this is a really important feature
that microsoft should include and consider doing if they
want to protect window xp users)

how will i be protected if microsoft antispyware real-
time protection doesn't work on limited account at all or
all user accoutn? most people use limited account too and
there's no reason for mircrosoft to create a program that
doesn't support limited account at all they should know
how to do it.

It's been discussed quite a lot. I'm sure they will fix that problem
before it goes gold. It's unthinkable that they wouldn't.
 
It is a known issue that limited and multiple accounts are not supported by
this beta 1 release of MSAS. It will be beta 2, for now, its best running it
as an Administrator.
 
What makes this difficult at this time is this:

You have a limited user account running the application looking for spyware
on all files and folders. This includes the administrator account which
limited users may not be able to access. So we have to approach this
carefully in order to remove the spyware from all locations, but also
preserve file and folder permissions and access.

In short, we are addressing this for a future release, but it involves some
major coding and testing.
