Talk:User mode

Don't like wording in last section
The last section with "is opposed to the special privilege superuser" can be interpreted as meaning that superuser processes run in kernel mode, which is untrue. I think it would be more appropriate to say something like superuser processes are allowed to do special things that other user-mode processes can't do, the most important of which is the ability to escalate their own privilege level to kernel. (For example, a Windows Administrator can use their privileges to register a kernel device driver and have it loaded.)
