There is one thing that really pushes my buttons, one thing that is sure to send me off on a rant on life, the universe, and everything. I have a 21" widescreen 1680x1050 display - which might not be large to some of the real geeks in here, but to me, it's pretty huge. With so much screen real estate, why oh why do my friends all still insist on maximising every window they come across when they sit down behind my computer? This - and more - is the subject of the latest post on Microsoft's Engineering 7 weblog.

It seems to me that the very first thing every webdesigner does is to add a "font-size: 90%" clause to "body" in the style sheet. Cause yea, we users don't know what size is best for us.

Because unless what they are doing requires viewing more than one Window at a time, multiple windows are just an annoying distraction.
