The Windows equivalent of sudo is "run as administrator" which you Windows users often seem to need.
At least with Linux, I can initiate an update and ALL the software I have installed gets updated. No going around multiple websites looking for updates. And it only takes 5 minutes at most for big system updates without numerous reboots during the process.
