I've been using PCs for a long time (I started using IBM compatibles around the late 90s, when DOS was big and Wnidows 3 was coming around).  I like having control of my PC.  It seems most people these days though don't care so much about having total control; they just want to do stuff with it.  Modern operating systems are made in a way to prevent people from doing stupid stuff.

I does bother me, though, when the OS tries to prevent me from running a program because it's not "authorized" by the OS or other restrictions.
