"Care to explain how it works on Windows then? Where the user is both 'root', and has full automatic 'admin' level?"

Simples - because you are not actually root or admin, just what MS decided to allow you to touch and nothing else.

Root on *nix systems means that, you can do real STOOPID shit if you want, but that you should have the sense not to. Like a God I suppose, but hopefully not Sithrak The Blind Gibberer...
