I think there is still need for discussion in this area for typical
Windows desktop use.
1. You can run Windows without creating users at all.
2. You may be using a Windows box where you are not allowed to create a
user
To apply unix practices to Windows is imho not really practicable.
For example a Windows developer usually uses an account with
administrative privs
and thus cannot run "make check" from his account :-(
