Quote - One more small thing...it seems to be the trend in OS's lately to become more 'stupid' and idiot-proof rather than less. I find I want more options for customizing as the years go by. I'm not sure if it's because users are either that stupid or unwilling to bother with their computers, but it should always be an option for experienced power users. After all, a computer is not your average appliance that you can just use and never bother with settings or tweaking like a television or a telephone. And that IMVHO, is the beauty of it ;). It's really sad that Microsoft has chosen this route. I'd much rather be able to tweak to my heart's content than take what I'm given. Maybe I'm just a rebel...hahahahaha.

That's just it though, most people are idiots and MS is just trying to please the lowest common denominator. Everyone on this forum or any forum are an exception to this, even the ones that say they don't know much about computers or an OS. The fact that they took the time and understood how to register/post proves it and that's why the majority here would want all the options and advanced settings. We're the .1% who get it.

You even see this global dumbing down in PC games thanks to the popularity of consoles. Computer games today are plagued by "extras" menus that contain "Sound: High/Medium/Low" settings and the amazing "Mouse: Fast/Medium/Slow" settings and that's it. Half the time you can't even use the mouse wheel to go down the menus, you need to use the damn keyboard.
