Trivial, but was using these irritations as an example. What isn't trivial is how poor and inconsistent the UI is (not just 7, but shockingly, 8). All OSes have warts, all companies are out to make a buck. I have been hoping MS would look at the competition and the business climate and really come up with some new ideas.

Thanks for all the great comments/responses. It really comes down to one thing: After so much time and some decent competition, why can't MS do a better job of UI? Windows 8 was their chance, and it really feels like a fancy skin on Win 7.
