Bad analogy.  DoveNet *IS* optional, and by default it is NOT immediately
working on a fresh Synchronet system unless the sysop intentionally takes
actions to enable it.  And again, the sysop can remove all traces of it from
their message bases with *one keypress*.

What?  It's not even remotely the same as that at all.  DoveNet is not
completely pre-installed, as people have told you multiple times.  You must
manually do several things in order to hook up DoveNet in a fresh copy of
Synchronet.  I repeat, IT IS NOT COMPLETELY PRE-INSTALLED.  No matter what you
insist, there simply is no comparable analogy to Microsoft, period.

I'm tired of telling you the same thing over and over.  Believe whatever you
want, but the fact simply remains that DoveNet is not "auto-rammed" on anyone,
and secondly most Synchronet sysops are glad that DoveNet is 95%
pre-configured.  

You have yet to explain WHY you have this beef with DoveNet being mostly
pre-configured, despite the fact that I have asked you this question several
times.  I'm guessing that I know the reason already, but, I would like to hear
what you say first, before posting my assumption.
