The users are considered 'too dumb' to do more than point and click, but they are supposed to config all this crap if they don't want to become anybodies zombie... go figure! Best I can come up with is it is 'just there' for the people who want it, but are too clueless to get and install it, or even know WHAT they want! Microsoft knows what software you want/need mindset... "where do you want to go?" Bruce Williams Microsoft is sort of a mixture between the Borg and the Ferengi.
