No Bill Gates likes to give advanced users lots of of options. I get
the most annoyed when, to "help" the novice user, Microsoft decides to
REMOVE an option from their products. Sure, put good defaults on for
people who do not want to learn how to use their software. But,
somewhere, leave the ability for people like me to customize that same
software to make it do what WE want (no Autocorrect, no AutoFormat.
Don't do ANYTHING for me without asking) and not what the programmer
thinks we want.
