Just wanted to add, that for most people, this is exactly what they
want.  Microsoft is very successful giving people 60% of the benefit
with 10% of the effort.  If you use your computer as an appliance, a
tool to do other things, that can be perfectly adequate.  I don't have a
problem with providing that ease of use, as long as the choice is there
for those who don't want it that way.  On linux, the choice is there.
