That's you, that is!
Well, I agree that I look a little like this when I'm using Windows!



The car analogy is okay, but the fundamental principal of the need to delve into the inner workings just to use it, does stretch it a little. Some drivers, me included, can do almost any job on most cars. Most people just expect them to work. They achieve basic driving skills and hopefully stay out of trouble. If it's a good car it will only need routine maintenance, not a rebuild every few miles.

I don't believe that one should have to do more with windows than a little housekeeping. Fat chance with software that tries to be all things to all men.
