I read it and what he's discussing in the article are basically SWTs (Stupid Winders Tricks). It can get pretty annoying, and what I really love is how the documentation for M$ Office never mentions some really nice features; they save these for the "Tip of the Day"  :mad:  then, suddenly, there's something you can really use. (And if you forget, you're SOL till it comes up again.  :mad:    :mad:  )

This is also why I'm not real partial to GNOME. For whatever fucked-up reason, GNOME actually duplicates a lot of these annoying tendencies. (My favorite is the MS two-step: right click an icon to bring up a menu, then left click to actually launch the app.) it's so much nicer and easier to use KDE, just left click to get the app up and running. KDE does an excellent job in cleaning up these little messes.
