It sometimes boggles the mind how much the "Average User" DOESN'T know
about the system they're using! (I myself am guilty of this very crime!)

You CAN do "most" "root" commands; but, you must perform a GUI based
equivalent of sudo first. You can even log into a "sort of root" account
by running the command prompt as administrator. By default you run as a
standard user as in modern Linux setups. (And, yes, this is just as
annoying to serious experienced Windows users on Windows 7 as it is for
serious experienced Linux users on a Linux distro.) It IS, however,
worlds
safer when considering malware or clumsy-wetware.

Ya gotta love Linux, no fuddling.
