Can't agree with that at all. Even if you ignore all of userspace, the Linux kernel has plenty of RCE bugs and very weak defences there.

Sure, and if a Linux user account is used for administration via su / sudo, there's no true separation from root. Does it matter though?

Windows administrator account with UAC ~= Linux user account with sudo root access or the root password, with administration done from it.

There's a fairly meaningless security boundary and both really only serve to prevent the user from shooting themselves in the foot.

Don't really think that matters though. SYSTEM / root aren't needed to get a desktop user's data or for persistent access to the system.

Sandboxed applications are important. Windows is further along towards that but... it's not far enough yet to make a diff for most users.
