The reviewer was also an idiot who never figured out how to reliably put a
shortcut to control panel on his desktop and couldn't avoid slipping in
some anti-USA euro-trash snobbery into his review.  Anyone who can't figure
out how to right click on control panel in the start menu and select create
shortcut or send to desktop as shortcut isn't worth listening to.
