Pros and Cons of starting the SQL services with a user account instead of the lsm

What are the pros and cons of starting the SQL services (MSSQLSERVER &
SQLAgent) with a domain wide user account instead of using the Local
System Account that does not have network access. To me it would seem
more secure to start the services using an account that cannot access
the network.
Thanks
MarcosI suspect that using a different account might force you to run the ole db
drivers for linked servers inside the same process as sql server, check my
earlier thread on october 21.
I am not sure about this but no one has given me a clear answer...
Otherwise we're using different accounts to run our sql servers without
problems (i think, i'm not the one that set up the servers...)
