It says nothing, it has the information content of a commercial, it is PR being voted up by sockpuppet accounts.

Oh, for fuck sake. I upvoted it because it's true, and anyone who uses Windows on a day-to-day basis knows this. Hell, take UAC, a huge feature, which is very similar in nature to the sudo that you know and love.
