> Everything about permissions and the command line experience is different between Windows and Linux. ... certain elements of the traditional sudo experience are not present in Sudo for Windows, and vice versa. Scripts and documentation that are written for sudo may not be able to be used directly with Sudo for Windows without some modification.

Then why is it named `sudo`? Just to create confusion?

Also, something like sudo is clearly not possible on modern Windows, because Microsoft thinks it owns your computer and won't allow Admins to do certain things.

It's wget for Windows all over again, just like with wget there's absolutely zero arguments shared between the two that do the same thing.

Ah yes, the 'curl' alias in powershell, vs the 'curl.exe' binary that uses the traditional options. Always have to remember that trap on windows.
