And user rights assignments. And granularity for ACL's.

The NT executive kernel supports a superset of the primitives needed by either 
the Win32 protected mode subsystem, or UNIX. This is why you can(could) run 
UNIX or Win32 processes atop the same underlying kernel. (And OS/2 as well, but 
I'm dating myself).

User vs Administrator privileges are only one small part of a security model. 
In fact, Windows has many individual security rights, so "user" versus 
"administrator" is a somewhat pointless comparison.

How do you ACL files, ports, threads, memory?

How do processes protect themselves from other processes?

The typical NTFS file ACLs are far more granular than typical *Nix permissions. 
And that's just the DACLs, not including the SACLs.

Therefore, I don't think you can realistically compare the security model of 
*nix to NT.
