I'm fairly sure this is not true, Windows' Administrator and unix's root let 
you do anything on the system in both caes, in a Windows environment, there 
is no legitimate reason for users to have administrator privleges, just lots 
of really bad reasons based on poor programming practices.  One should 
*never* use Windows software that requires Adminstrator privleges for 
non-maintenance-related tasks for all the same reasons you shouldn't use root 
in unix for non-maintence tasks.
