Yes, I agree. This wasn't why I left Windows. If I had liked Windows, I
wouldn't leave it, I left it for a reason, or rather for thousands of
reasons, and I was so happy that Ubuntu (7.04) didn't even look like
Windows! And I felt a little at home since my old school days, working in
Unix around 1990 or so.

Anyway, I really don't understand that philosophy of removing features. If
something is going to be removed because it could confuse beginners, then
let there be an easily available ”control panel” or something with an
”Advanced” tab where the user can bring those features back by just ticking
some check-boxes and things like that. How hard can it be?

Well, I know, I'm repeating myself, sorry.
