" But unix was never developed as a secure OS as anyone who's entered single user mode would attest to."
Quite. One security advantage of Windows is that you can get full constrained delegation of rights. In *Nix world a lot of stuff has to be done as root. In Windows you can easily delegate just the rights needed for specific admin tasks without using an admin / system level account. This is especially handy with say scripts (via JEA) - see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn896648.aspx
