Guests Not Welcome
I recently encountered an annoyance while trying to build a low-privileged web service client: calling IPAddress.Parse with a low-privileged account (for example, a guest account) blows up. This is because the Parse function unconditionally initializes some shared settings, including a few performance counters that require additional privileges to access. There's no workaround for this problem today although it's fixed in .Net 4.0.

Much like Windows XP datetime dialog.
