      No, that would be too soon. It took them over 20 years to make a package manager, 15 years to add tabs to Windows Explorer. Maybe in 10-20 years they will do it.

    We already had this function, they just made sudo into an alias of:

    runas /user:Administrator

        This sandwich is definitely the type of sandwich to eat humans as revenge for its kind.

      They’re also aknowledging that it already existed… It’s new to windows. I don’t like them either but you don’t need to actively look for shit to be upset at them over.

    Doesn’t really make sense in the context of windows tbh

    sudo = “superuser do”

    They should have made it NT-ASdo for “NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM do”

    Except it should actually be a powershell module so you have to type out the whole thing as NT-AuthoritySystem-Do

    I am pretty sure it won’t work 100% like sudo on Unix-likes, so why didn’t they come up with different name, like elevate? This command being sudo will only confuse users.

    Some quotes from Steve Jobs about Microsoft:

    • The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don’t mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don’t think of original ideas, and they don’t bring much culture into their products. --Triumph of the Nerds (1996)
    • I am saddened, not by Microsoft’s success — I have no problem with their success. They’ve earned their success, for the most part. I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products. --Triumph of the Nerds (1996)
    • I wish developing great products was as easy as writing a check. If that was the case, Microsoft would have great products.

    Soon, some linux newbies would search for how to do something with sudo and spent an hour scratching their head trying to figure out why the command not working, only to realize they copy pasted sudo command for windows instead.
