is it necessary for new users to be local admins?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

We are upgrading to xp, and we need to know should we limit our users so
that they are not local admins. Will this break any software in it's normal
day-to-day operations (aside from installation issues)?

Thanks.
