For all the MS software out there, they have at least 1000 programmers 
on pay roll, besides MS have recruited some of the best ones with their 
programming Olympics or something like that.

Well, as someone says: you can manage to fuk up even the simplest thing 
to do. Or something like that. There is effort and sacrifice in every 
single thing crafted by men, so maybe I was too harsh on MS, maybe 
they're solving problems so complicated that the common-sense-level ones 
goes by their side without being noticed. But is very annoying anyway 
and they replicate IN EVERY WINDOWS VERSION, including Vista: you look 
for something that you think sgould be there and guess what MS manages 
to put it in a place you'd never think of, not in the same features but 
is the same behavior in all versions. The word INTUITIVE must not be 
very popular in MS...
