A classic example of what irony is :) .

Hmm...
There's a limerick that a coworker told me recently:
I truly hate this damned machine
I wish someone would sell it.
It never does quite what I want,
But only what I tell it.
It seems that Longhorn will attempt to read people's minds!! THAT is not a good idea, I'm sorry. What if I don't want my computer to adjust the volume and start DVD playback at fullscreen when I insert a dvd (and I don't know enough about the OS to disable that)?

Longhorn is going to "just work"? I'll believe it when it's released and I see it for myself. Which should probably happen sometime shortly after humans first walk on Mars. :)

Longhorn will automatically clean up, or “defragment,” your hard drive, if it is required. You won’t even know it’s happening.
Great. All I need is another Indexing Service sucking up my hard drive usage while I'm in the middle of a game.
And by late 2006, KDE and GNOME will undoubtedly have surpassed Longhorn in desktop useability.

It is about time. To think, we have been sitting here telling our computers what to do for all this time.

Isn't that Apple's slogan? Would it kill Bill to have his marketing droids come up with something original? As far as Longhorn guessing at what I want or need: that's the last thing I want. I don't want a machine that guesses. I want a machine that obeys me.
