Exactly. Windows already has this functionality with
runasand this implantation doesn't improve on it at all.It's more complicated than that. It seems to be able to configurably block user input for sudo'd commands, retain the existing environment, ditch it and open a new window, and remember that you've sudo'd in the last minute or so.
Classic Microsoft. Just change the look and be done with. No need it to actually improve the internals.
