Microsoft assumes their users are complete idiots, even when they (the users) are actively trying to convince them (Microsoft) otherwise. No matter how advanced the feature may be, they'll assume you found instructions somewhere to do something entirely unrelated and they constantly have to save you from yourself. As a result you constantly have to fight the OS for access and control to get it to do what you want.
If you're even a bit of a power user that is, of course.
But more often than not Microsoft's assumption is probably spot on.
That assumption is perfectly good for a default. Not a mandatory feature that power users have to live with.
As a default, sure. Should be one that's easily changed, though. Repeatedly fighting the machine that's supposed to do your bidding and make your life easier gets old rather quickly. A machine you own and administrate, let's not forget that.
