God Windows is Annoying

Tonight I installed Windows XP under Virtual PC and I'd forgotten how truly annoying it is. It's just dialog after dialog, do you want a passport, do you want to activate, do you want a tour of XP, blah, blah, blah. Jesus, shut up already. This is what I mean when I say windows gets in your way. Oh I also made the mistake of installing Kazaa and it just adds a whole bunch more to the mess and didn't listen to my statements about not putting anything on the desktop and not starting up automatically. It added two icons on the desktop and not only starts everytime it reboots, but also started a thing that wanted you to download some crap virus protection software. I've never used Kazaa before, and given this complete disrespect for my preferences I never will either. And we won't even discuss all the popups and popunders that IE of course won't filter. How do people put up with this complete disrespect for the user, it's horrible. I know a lot of this is fresh install crap, but still, Macs don't do this.
