that computers should be helpful and how it is too much of a burden for =
you to customize the UI to your preferences.  Do you realize how shrill =
you sound?

   Speaking for myself, I use computers for what often feels more than =
24 hours a day.  Daily I use Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows =
Vista, and Windows Server "Longhorn".  For the server products I
change = the UI to match the client UI, the opposite of what you seem to
