Dan,
Sure both methods will prevent many viri from taking over your
computer, but notice there is a major difference. You obviously have
not used a limited account before because usually software developed
for Windows will require some configuration or settings change in
order to correctly function under a limited account, with a few
notable exceptions. This instead claims to create a sandbox where the
functionality of an Administrator account is preserved without the
harmful effects by using a virtual type of environment that is
separate.

I haven't used the software, but from the summary, that seems to be
what was intended. Correct me if otherwise.
