chrooted for Windows

It does allow you to run a service under different credentials (and that login can be restricted to certain folders/resources), but most lazy admin's just run services under LocalSystem, which is the equivalent to root under Unix. More often than not, these security risks happen because people are too lazy or do not know how to secure their environment.
