One man's "weird/bizarre" is another man's "utterly essential". You've really put me off KDE now. At least with Windows, when I start a new app I've never seen before, I can still be fairly certain that I'll know where to find basic things and how to interpret others. Oh, and that it'll pick up all my existing printer and UI settings, for example. And that, say, with a media player, I can skip back and forth between tracks using the special back/forward buttons on my keyboard. Yes, Windows still sucks in a load of areas, and I have been considering moving to either Ubuntu or OSX for a while now (it'll probably be Ubuntu to start with, given my current financial situation). And yes, I know that with freedesktop.org standardisation efforts, things are greatly improving. But I always reconsider when I see people moaning about the lack of things in their OS which Windows has had at least *partially* right for years. That said, ObHate: The way that Windows alerts you to the need for a restart after performing a security update - and after you've chosen "Restart Later", decides that "Later" means in 10 minutes' time, and then 10 minutes after that, and *will not fucking leave you alone whatever you are doing*. (No, there is no "don't bother me again" option. There's only "Later") Obviously, a smooth game of Counter-Strike becomes utterly impossible when it's suddenly switching you back to the desktop every few minutes. -- YozThere's stuff above here
