Much like Windows does for Vista and later. Except Windows is smart enough to do the equivalent of “Hey, shithead, you forgot to sudo, should I do it for you?” or “Hey, shithead, you’re not a sudoer, but if you have a login that is, I’ll do it for you.”
But, somehow, this makes Windows stupid and lame, and Mac OS and Linux k-rad kewl.
Oh, yes. Windows is great at putting dialogs at the user's face all the time, and them blamming the user when he doesn't read them anymore and clicks on the wrong button.
Guess what, sudo is a security feature. If you give sudo rights to malicious code, your computer is owned, that's why the user must initiate it. If you don't like to type sudo all the time, log as root (and remember to not do anything stupid).
