Default 'sudo' in Vista?

Hello,

seeing that via the GUI now all applications have the shift +
right-click popup menu with a Run as administrator entry, is there
any way to achieve the same from command line using good old 'runas'
or with a 'sudo' that will use the same GUI confirmation prompt of
the UAC instead of prompting for password?

you can manifets the application so that it knows it needs to prompt.

Interesting - thanks! Will see how that can be applied to ipconfig,
netsh etc.
