It's not Microsoft ... nor is it any other software house ... it's the dummies
who prefer the glitz and glamour, taking appearance over substance every time.
If it weren't for them, Detroit would have been a wasteland decades ago.
They're what the US economy survives on.

Seriously, there are a bunch of things that users should to to elimintate
most
of the insanity.
-Disable VBS scripting, that stops a raft of buggies right there.
- disable open after preview for 5sec .
- disable auto display of pictures
- enable empty deleted folder on close (delete really does then).
Thats just a few of the simpler things that really do help.
- and default to TEXT
for e-mail
If those were the DEFAULTS, what percentage of the problems would be
solved, and how much of the anti-MICROS~1 hostility would be eliminated?
