Linux, just a basic install of Linux probably automatically creates symbolic
links somewhere on your disk, right? So if nothing else, they are at least
*useful*.

I find it amusing how some people dismiss these and other features in Vista as worthless and uninteresting yet these very same people are the ones who jump up-and-down in joy when XGL announces "Wobbly Menus." (Note - There was an entire COLA topic on the benefits of "Wobbly Menus" in XGL.)

Please provide evidence that the "same people" are doing what you claim.

How about Roy? He's the one making the majority of the XGL posts, and he seems to think XGL is cool (and I don't blame him, he is cool), and simultaneously, he calls Vista "XP SP3" and otherwises dismisses Vista's feature set as a "newer icon set".
