I've been using Windows as a network administrator for just over 6 years now. I've used NT4 servers, 2000 servers, and Windows 2003, and there has been a tremendous improvement with each version. There are still some things that drive me nuts in my job, though, and this is a chronicle of the top five.

To those who were saying "Whats the big deal" about installing those apps by default. I have some news for you. Diskspace is NOT the issue. It's security. When you have apps like WMP that 'call home' all the time they are opening an attack avenue to the internet. OE is another one. If WMP was JUST a media player and not tied into the OS and doing things behind the scenes that you don't know about then it would be ok.
Read the EULA from WMP and see what I mean. You give permission to MS for all sorts of things that shouldn't be required just for a media player.
