The use of the administrator account is being phased out in Windows Vista and it is rarely necessary to use it in place of another administrator account. When installing Vista, the Administrator account is disabled; but if you are upgrading from Windows XP and Administrator is the only active local administrator account, Administrator remains enabled. In this situation, it is placed in trust mode, for UAC purposes. Since it is not subject to UAC prompts and runs with full administrative privileges, it is rather risky to run regularly. Any application could then have full control of the computer.
So I suggest using it sparingly, only when you need to do multiple administrative tasks and don't want to be bothered by UAC prompts. Initially, this “super” administrator account does not have a password, a serious vulnerability for a full-fledged administrator account. It is best to assign a strong password to this account as soon as possible.
