First, a little background. I am a Windows user who has been using Windows since 3.1. I am not a programmer or a developer, I am a user. I process photos, use the internet, e-mail, write letters, play the ever important games and even use it to develop my comic strips. I am not computer illiterate and I use my computer with confidence and skill. Now with that said. I hate Windows.

I don't remember when Bell Telephone first came out with beige telephones or Ford came out with colored cars, but I'm sure consumers felt the same anguish.
