This is just ridiculous: Microsoft Patents Sudo?!!.

...a giant maze of components all interacting with each other without any logic.
There is, it's called "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" and it can do a whole lot more then administrator :eMG said:I don't think it works. At least I never experienced a real superuser status in Windows.
wlohman said:As much as I agree with the stance on software patents, this isn't exactly sudo. The way I read it, bare with me, is that when a user runs a MS equivalent of `vi /etc/fstab`, the system will pop up a dialogue saying "You dear $USER do not have sufficient rights, but these users do: ${list_of_users_with_sufficient_rights} would you like to run this command as one of them?"
And then, voila! A password dialogue for the account selected.
