So proprietary, so M$. Who would use this crapware, from my
perspective, is hard to understand.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are

I don't think it's a matter of whether it's removed, though, it's a
matter of why we need M$ to manufacture software, GNU/Linux gives one
a platform that extends to any imaginable scenario. NT can purport to
do the same, but the proof's in the pudding, you don't see Winblows on
supercomputers much. The proprietary stink attaches all over their
code.

DOS consoles, Windows Explorer, mouse settings etc.
can't be zoomed in&out using the mouse wheel.

It's just too damn hard to implement, apparently.
