: I use Windows on this one and never had to close any window to see what I'm
: doing in other windows. I either minimise or have it set to cascade.

They spent years and millions doing "usability" improvements, but still
can't do basic stuff like pressing the other mouse button on a scroll icon
makes it scroll the other way; getting a window to have the focus without
popping to the front (I don't have to see what I'm typing, but I do have to
see what I'm reading); and a way to pop a window to the back; oh, and a
way to make it believe that I mean delete (not recycle) when I say delete,
without asking me every time. Stuff other OSs have had for two decades !!

: It ain't the best system but it works ok. I really don't like Microstuff
: Vista, though. Too bloody "helpful". Don't like machines
: second-guessing me.

Whilst intended as a description of what I find difficult in pony riding
(they have their own intelligence and their own agenda) I still come back
to the comment "If Microsoft designed bikes, you'd get a horse".
