Well, it *allows* you to change the ID of the superuser account to
something else. But of course that is obfuscation, and is quickly
discovered (just check what ID owns /bin/* and so on). Nevertheless, you
have the *ability* to change the ID. You can't do that with Windows.
(Yeah, cheap shot I know... ;)
