Even in real, actual Windows, you shouldn't ever, ever log in as 
Administrator.  Programs that require Administrator permissions to run 
normally should be returned to the manufacturer for refund as defective if 
you're going to use it in Windows and not just fencing it off in it's own 
winebottle safely away from the real world.  To suggest handing over the keys 
to your system to any random program on any platform is criminally stupid at 
best.
