I'm sure I've seen apps (Google Chrome, perhaps?) install to a user's
%APPDATA% folder instead of Program Files. My understanding is that
this doesn't require admin privileges. The install is only visible to
that user, but that's fine for me. I know that for me personally if
I'm using a shared computer and installing games I don't generally
want to do an install for all users.
