It's funny that both Windows 10 & 11 can now be set to
natively run Linux and even windowed Linux apps, but full backward
operability for earlier Windows programmes is no longer the goal
for Windows' development — as it, both easily, and successfully,
once was :-)<br>

It would seem that Microsoft, like DEC ("Digital Equipment
Corporation") before them, are losing the courage of their own
convictions :<br>

have a built-in sudo command designed for developers. Sudo,
short for “superuser do,” is widely used on Unix-based
operating systems like Linux and macOS to run programs with
higher security privileges or as another user. It’s useful for
developers wanting to test scripts, for example.</p>

"It is an ergonomic and familiar solution [...]". Familiar to whom
? Certainly not to Windows users, who have been familiar with
"Runas" since time memorial, but have probably only ever heard of
"Sudo" when talking to {Linu|Uni}x users<br>

This means that all command line applications will now
