We were initially logging out of the Windows GUI environment and back in
again to do the Windows builds. Discovering runas made the whole
process MUCH less painful. So far I haven't needed to use any advanced
features of sudo or runas; in my view either is easy to use for the
common
cases. I'll admit it gets a little messy getting into the msys/mingw
environment as another user. I gave an example of how we used it this
way recently:

This wouldn't help with the "run from DVD" situation without having
a user to runas.

Yes, there is runas, but
windows doesn't exactly foster people working from the command line. And
IIRC runas isn't nearly as nice to use as sudo.
