Is always running Visual Studio as Administrator really a Microsoft Best Practice?

I have been told be a support team that my issue when running VS as non-admin is not really a bug, and I should always run VS as admin, as this is an MS Best Practice. I cannot find any such statement from MS. Can anyone verify or dispute this?

Please note that I am questioning the objectivity of their statemement in an objective question. I am not asking what practice is best, but whether MS has ever called this one of their Best Practices.

MS has recommended this for VS2005. Not 2008/2010.
