I'm suggesting that you should broaden your mind a bit, and realise that not 
everyone is a technical IT person who just wants to use their computer as a 
tool to get stuff done as quickly and efficiently as possible.  Have you 
ever worked in an office with lots of really non-technical people?  They 
don't care about efficiency or if Explorer takes 2 seconds or 1 second to 
open, they care about "cute" and "fun", and they'll have the cat office 
assistant selected, a crazy screen saver, a mouse pointer that wobbles like 
a jelly, a thing that plays a tune at 16:00 every day, a horrendous 
background to explorer windows, all just because it's fun.
