*LOL*
As I glance at the bottom, I can vividly see Opera and Firefox. DFS sure
knows which Web browsers ought to be installed. That Blue E that comes
pre-bundled is apparently not enough. Moving rightwards, I notice that
rusty OE being used. As Outlook is installed, one must wonder why rusty OE
is even used. Memory hog perhaps? Both Outlook and OE are unstable (seen
it many times in my own eyes... people sob about losing work).
On we move to see the Windows shell ('cmd'), which is so poor in terms of
expressiveness. How can you get any work done? Even autocompletion a la
Bash does not exist. All the Microsoft Office stuff is appalling at best,
especially when one tries to develop for a variety of platforms or be able
to descend to what goes underneath the opaque formats. One wonders what
the yellow exclamation point in your taskbar actually attempts to inform
you of.
Thanks for sharing.
