Most of the java I write does not have a form. That's called the top
half. The bottom half, usually perl based uses Tk and communicates with
the java daemon.
But I agree that some things do have forms. Looks like MS is trying to
just fucking piss people off even more. Sounds like the OS is going to
be very broken out of the box. Why would people even want to put up with
this kind of crap. They're [MS] are no different to GM/Ford. Fuck the
world up for the sake of a quick buck.

Even more problems. No one deliberately makes a system that's going to
be slow.
Everyone sign that petition. But then again, MS don't listen to their
customers, it not like forums and dev mailing lists where devs actually
see the user comments.
