The vast majority of end-users couldn't give a fig how much "control" 
they have over the PC. They just want to be able to *use* the thing. I 
have no problem with MS making computer technology easier for them to 
use. (I would debate the degree to which they achieve that, mind you...)

What I *do* have an issue with is MS deciding that *I* can't get stuff 
done with my own PC because "most" end-users don't need that feature.

I should probably go buy the competitor's OS instead. Oh, wait...
