The difference between Windows "Administrator" and "non-Administrator" context is a fuzzy hairball tied only to the files they get to change, and not the processes they get to run. It's been slapped on to a single-user "system", piece by piece from the days of DOS-- a single user Operating System. In contrast, Linux acquired its basic design roots from time shared multi-user Operating Systems.
The security in Windows XP/2000 is more than which files they can change, as there are Access Control Lists in many parts of the operating system such as registry keys, processes, mutexes, pipes, etc... please look at the windows api before making such statements. XP/2000 have nothing to do with DOS, they are true multi-user operating systems with security features to support multi-user environments.
