I run an XP administration machine on my Vista laptop so that all the various interfaces for all the different legacy stuff on my network still works, and I can keep the VM logged in as an admin whilst using a standard account on the physical machine for browsing, mail etc. An added advantage is that the same Admin workstation VM works a treat on my MacBook Pro under VMware Fusion.

It's the approach i've used - a WS2003 Virtual Machines where i have all my Snap Ins i need, and logon with an account with the permissions i need. The advantages of this are pretty obvious.
