RHEL and CentOS have much, much tighter basic privilege handling. The complexity of the NTFS ACL structure, for example, is so frequently mishandled that it's often ignored and simply dealt with as "Administrator". The result is privilege escalation chaos.
And how is the user-group-world permissions system any better?
I work daily with both *nix & NTFS ACL's and given the choice I prefer NTFS' for the finer grained control.
Erm, *nix has fully functional ACLs as well. 'man setfacl'
