It is when they cut your number of monitor display options in half, or don't allow automatic ownership of your own C drive. Like I said, it's little things, not major things, but they add up in the end. Someone who knows what they're doing can get passed these minor annoyances, of course, but those few extra steps and seconds of effort add up in the end.

I'm interested in both ease of use and customization. With each new OS, this ratio is tilted a little more towards the former, which I wouldn't mind if it also wasn't restricting the latter. More and more do I find myself disliking "consumer" operating systems, including Windows. Not because they're bad, but because I need more control than what they offer.
