This is your opinion, and however valid it might be they could dismiss it as
just an opinion. However, there is another reason to hate the dialog boxes
that slip down from the top of windows, one based on objective usability
grounds - they sometimes obscure the very thing that they are asking you a
question about, and as they are fixed to the window, you can't move them out
of the way to take a look. How hateful.
