That is so true. As well as I hate having the OS define its directory structure so rigidly. Every install I do includes a registry modification and moving Program files and Documents and Settings to a different disk. What I really really miss is an "expert" installation mode that makes me do all this at the very beginning during the install process...

And yes, I find Luna awful as well. And I either get rid of it or install StyleXP and use some different visual style. But I hate having to waste ram memory for that.
