And where is the problem? These people have just been through an
elementary lesson on difference of OSes in a violent way.
Or to put it conversely: Who do these windoze newbies think they are
to throw away a well-known and valuable feature has been around for 15

I don't know if you noticed it, but that was exactly my point. We can't
prevent anyone from doing dumb things; there will always be a smarter
way to do dumb things just the same. It seemed to me that the above
"people coming from windows" surprise situation is a bit ridiculous, and
I hoped someone else felt the same way (as you do). By extension,
preventing that surprise by denying a nearly vital feature, unless you
find out the hard way that it has been removed is and are probably not
in the position to re-enable it,... is just at the same level of the
surprise it wanted to spare.
Just, I thought we were all linuxsters enough to get the puny of that
right away.
