Livingston [small excerpt]: "What all these new XP "features" have in common is that they make Windows more convenient for Microsoft but less convenient for users."

Ruffles: "The reasons listed in that article are pretty lame in my opinion."

I personally feel that Livingston was pretty calm and judicious in his comments and I agree with them not only as a home consumer but also, to a much larger extent, as a business consumer. If, as appears to be the case, you *work* for Microsoft, I'm not sure I would expect you to identify with my issues as a consumer.
