Microsoft's design philosophy of "you didn't really want to do that; this is what you really wanted to do" is the thing about Windows that I detest the most aside from themes, adware, and brain-dead documentation. After over ten years of reinventing Unix/Amigas/VMS (poorly), the core OS seems alright. Unfortunately, the user rarely gets close enough to it.

You're preaching to the choir on that score. And the most irritating thing? It seems to be harder and harder in each successive version of Windows to make that damn paperclip GO AWAY...
