Understand, however, since the options I describe are provided by Microsoft for me to manage my pc as I see fit, it's categorically not 'beating the system', it's making an informed choice based on my personal preferences with the tools available and that is the point I was making in the first place to K&C.
When he or she says I didn't choose this, what is actually being said is I don't understand the choices before me, but I don't like the outcome. That is not the same thing as having something imposed upon one.
