Comment on Microsoft: Introducing Sudo for Windows

Ok, so yea just a “better” version of runas. I can see it being a bit easier when you just need to do the one thing as admin, but overall just opening an admin windows is still going to be the best way.

I don’t really think the security issues makes it worth enabling.

Yep. It’s basically an alias for:

runas /user:administrator

If you want to open a new command line window with admin priva you can always do:

runas /user: administrator CMD.exe

Which is of course on Linux this would be like running:

sudo su

  It's not just an alias. It seems to be able to configurably block user input for sudo'd commands, retain the existing environment, ditch it and open a new window, and remember that you've sudo'd in the last minute or so.
