i don't know about the latest MS-windows versions but in the past
the difference between admin (root) and normal users was non-existing
in MS-windows, which is one reason that viruses can take down a whole
MS-windows machine

in linux there has always been a very strict difference between root
and normal users, if a user would come across a virus it would not take
control over the whole machine
