I remember win95, a good user interface with DOS - where is DOS now? I have Win7
and I hate it because I can't use my own old programs. But (or install Linux)
there is no way to avoid MS empire. And as you say, MS take all the power of the
PC and consider the user like a child - no big responsabilities for the user, it
is dangerous to modified all that stuff.
Where is (except Linux) the possibility to make your machine, like you want. MS
format the users. It's a fact.
