Business employees generally do not get root or admin access to their computers.
Arguably, working around that is trivial regardless of the OS. There really is no security when the user has physical control of the device, regardless of the OS.
With Linux, give anyone a grub menu and nothing else, and it's trivial to get to a root prompt and change the root password.
In a corporate world, the trick then would be to set the root password back after this so the IT police don't know you did it...
