For Windows, Left-Clicking an OK button to confirm potentionally 
dangerous admin tasks is like linking the acceleration pedal in your 
car to the brake pedal(If the traffic light shows Red/Stop, push the 
acceleration pedal to break)

I mean, seriously, left-clicking an OK button is something *SO* 
unusual to Windows users that you could also just remove that 
"barrier" altogether.

</sarcasm>

Now, OK, I don't really know any  Windows version after XP, so 
things might have changed. But what I see from the casual Win users 
in my environment is that nothing has really changed.
