You know what?  MS got sick of users (and third-party programmers) not 
liking being told that certain things (like turning off the firewall) 
are dumb ideas and doing them anyways.  So they said heck with it, and 
now you can't "just turn off" things.  You have to do it correctly.

I don't remember where I got this, might've been here, but this entry in

Aero I played with a little for a few days, then switched to classic view.
