Windows 2000 Run As... Feature

In all the hubbub over whether the semantic of the Run As... feature
in Windows 2000, a much more important shortcoming is that this is
the first time (I know of) that the system asks for your password
through a mechanism other than the trusted path (ctrl-alt-del to
login, ctrl-alt-del to change password).  This is an unfortunate
compromise in an otherwise useful feature.
