I usually suggest that Enterprise manager be used to change the SQL Server
service account after installation because EM will grant additional advanced
user rights that don't get assigned with the Computer Management method.
The advanced rights are needed for functionality like changing security
context to the proxy account and using AWE. The permissions (documented in
the BOL) can be granted manually but it's more work.

Hope this helps.
