Most Windows users would rather spend more time using their computers than hacking them.

Not necessarily. 1. Click once on the desktop wallpaper (not on any desktop icon). 2. Press ALT+F4. Voilà ! Windows 2000-style Shutdown dialog! Choose Shut Down, Restart, Log Off, etc and click OK or...

Oh goody for you. Unless you had ultra compelling reason to switch (you don't) ... please don't waste my time pretending to know how the latest Windows works. So lets get this right. I just said...

Which is exactly what I did back in 2006, around the time Vista was released (hint: not a coincidence). But the customization wasn't really one of the main reasons for switching. I only said that the...

I used it for 4 years (2004-2008) until my iBook died, I used Jaguar through to Leopard. For me everything was a bit off.

A great feature too! Microsoft's actually done some good stuff with the cli in PowerShell. When working on Linux systems I sometimes wish I could just pipe an object into another command rather than...
