MMMMM How about better reliability, and no bloat. I can get the other programs that I want. Just a simple secure OS.

Longhorn is supposed to boot 50% faster than XP.

Is there a way to speed up the OS loading time? |

Mr Gates, you've amassed huge wealth, how about a realistic price for Longhorn that the lower end of the socio-economic scale can afford

I would like an OS that includes a "Dumb-ass" version for the computer-illiterate, but also lets you switch to an "advanced" version for the rest of us. (Much like Spybot)

Dear Microsoft: Please come up with an OS that dosen't need to patched all the time and uses less memory.

Just fix the goddamn IE. Make it to work on 50% of Firefox and you'll see the difference

No "please", huh?
The Amiga directory structure looks like this:
C: contains system commands (similar to .exe or .com on Windows)
DEV: contains system devices
Expansion: contains auto-load drivers for non-standard hardware
Fonts: contains fonts
L: contains system device handlers (similar to drivers I guess)
Libs: contains libraries (simlar to .dlls)
Prefs: contains system preferences (control panel type applications)
Rexx: contains Amiga Rexx scripts
S: contains system script files (similar to batch files on Windows)
System: contains system files
T: contains temporary files
Utilities: contains utilities
WBStartup: contains Workbench (GUI) startup files
Much more elegant than what we're stuck with on Windows.

Hence the need for a 'Dumb-ass'-version. I suggest that this version is running on default after installation (good for about 85% of all customers).
The 'advanced' version would have to be 'unlocked' by the customer via a command-promt command, and would only apply to the account it is used on.
