sudo on windows has a different risk profile given the malware ecosystem and lack of educated/ trained users.
95% of linux users are developers who understand risk -- though are prone to mistakes
99% of windows users are casual consumers .
Let's keep this functionality narrowly accessible : restricted to developer mode and very formal consent. I suggest disabling it if it's unused for a few days
this will only rejuvenate the malware market.
