sudo and uac both contain a 'u'; coincidence?

May 1, 2007 under sudo, UAC, Vista, Windows

This is a pretty bold statement from Microsoft’s Peter Watson. He claims that other operating system developers should learn from Vista‘s UAC component and provide something similar. Hasn’t UNIX had the su command (and later sudo) for a long while? Hell, even Mac OS X and Linux distros like Ubuntu wrapped it in a nice GUI a few years/releases ago. Microsoft not only showed up late to this party, it brought an ugly date.
