Low-rights user accounts will not work
Too many people would need to keep on punching in a password to install things, which they do not wish to do.

No, what we need is something like UAC, that makes you CONFIRM that you wish something to install.

Really, every piece of software on a consumer PC should be automatic updated, there is no reason to have the customer have to click on something and then say "Search for update!" anymore.
