To be legal, I just removed all 'sudo' existence from my Linux boxes. 
>From now on, I'll boot into Windows and double click my 'sudo' icon and
provide:

  - the OS to boot into (though only Window 7 and above are allowed)
  - the command to execute (properly corrected by M$ spell and
                            grammar check.)
  - the user to execute as (corrected to 'administrator')
  - and the password (shown in the clear, of course)

After "completion", I'll get a dialog box with title 'Error' and text
'Error'.

"Microsoft. Where do you want to go...oh nevermind, we'll decide."
