True, but I still get that motherfucking message when I put in a CD that asks what I want to do with it.  I always say "Do nothing" with the box checked that says "always preform this action" or whatever, and it still pops up when I put in a CD.  Goddamnit!

I also hate it when the fucking task bar freezes up.  Or when explorer freezes up all together.  

I also hate it when a program freezes up, I try to "end task" or "end the process" and the fucking program does not go away.  I DONT GIVE A SHIT THAT THE PROGRAM IS BUSY, I WANT THE MOTHERFUCKER TO GO THE FUCK AWAY! FUCK!!

I also hate it when a file will not delete.  Again: I DO NOT GIVE A FUCKING SHIT THAT A PROGRAM IS USING THE FILE! FUCK THE PROGRAM! I WANT THAT FUCKING FILE FUCKING DELETED!!!  ARGHHHH!!!!!!

now I need to catch my breath...

Yea..but the fact is that most people don't know how, or don't even know that you can. I know tons of people like that. Because of them, these "features" become "standard".

Get TweakUI. Under My Computer>Autoplay>Drives unselect your cd-rom.

As for your other stuff... I wouldn;t know because I don't ever experience that    :D  

All that shit is there to help noobs who wouldn't know how to turn it on if it was off by default. I wish they'd have an "Disable all the stupid shit" checkbox in system settings somewhere.

I never liked xp!  Infact, thats the OS that made up my mind that I should switch.

On top of a really stupid gui, you have STILL have all the bloat and bugs to deal with.  ITS STILL not secure.  You have to buy other apps such as av software and a good firewall not to mention some sort of add buster program!  Even after that it still can get infected or because of all those above needed software or the OS itself, patches currupt the damn thing!  Or makes it worse!  After all M$ claimed that THIS OS was to be the MOST stable and secure desktop and ITS STILL pathetic.

What makes xp differnt from other M$ OS'es is that more DRM and hidden files are put in place of the OS!  If you delete a file its not only still there but nearly impossible to get rid of.

From an end user prospective.  The hole OS is just plain sad.  From an attackers prospective.  XP makes things just that much easier!
