Then there's runas, who fell and broke several bones right at the start, but still says he participated in the race.

Privilege escalation on Windows is a fucking joke.

The true "admin" in Windows is the default elevated admin account that you can't delete. And even that is not completely true, cuz Trusted Installer sometimes has presidence. Basically, if you can combine System+TrustedInstaller+Administrator, that would make it similar to root on Linux... so yes, privilege escalation in Windows is a joke.

If you're not running as system, are you even an Admin?

No... the one true admin is MS... but they don't want you to know that.
