Maybe `wudo`? Windows Sudo!
2 comments

If sudo stands for “superuser do”, and on Windows they call this user an “Administrator”. It stands to reason they should call it `audo`.

Though this would be confusing, as people would pronounce it like “adieu”, which would make it sound like an alias for `logoff`.

"Administrator" doesn't contain a "u". `addo`/`ado` both would make more sense and flows better off the tongue.

And once the initial install of something was complete, you'd then be able to run it with no further ado :D
SuperUser DO

Administrator User DO

Or 'mudo', Microsoft sudo.

With the added benefit of having appropriate meaning in some slavic languages.

How about ms-sudo/mssudo and ms-curl/mscurl
I like the name MS-DOS. MicroSoft DO Superuser
