Help!

[Upholder of the [BFG]]

OK, I need y'all's help. Yes, I just said "y'all", and yes, I'm sure I can use quotes in that fashion.

What do you guys hate about Windows? I'm specifically asking the power users and system admins, but everybody feel free to chime in.

I'm looking for anything from "I wish I had granular control of packet filtering based on regular expression parsing of the packet data" to "I wanna b abel 2 mak my webcam werk easyr"

What's missing from Windows?
What's broken in Windows?
To what do you say "Damn, I wish this worked like it does in Linux."?
What can you not figure out how to do easily in Windows?

Thanks Guys

1. Command line tools that are worth more than tangled pubes from 40 year WoW kiddies that still live in parent's basement

2. Proper directory structure

3. Install/Uninstall that doesn't seem similar to getting a whore in Calcutta. IE. It may go in alright, but once you pull it out, your still stuck with the clap or some other funky disease you can't find

4. User account management, I should say user account management that doesn't ride the short bus

5. Admin commands for actually doing things that don't involve pulling up some obscure .msi file, or having to deal with the dirty diaper under My Computer called "manage"

6. A real kill command, half the time killing processes in windows does nothing on the box itself, but makes me want to kill people

7. Network settings that on changes don't seem to "hang"

8. A firewall that is actually does something useful, it's sad when editing your hosts file can be more beneficial than using windows firewall

9. Indexing or searching services that can actually find things faster than manually going to look for things. It feels like giving fat people handicap stickers. Thats right lets make the fucking fat ass be able to walk 5 feet into the god damn store. ie pointless

Thats just off the top of my head

An operating system that knows when to give up. If you can't find the bloody network path to a file stop trying after the first 10 seconds instead of trying over and over again with no notification at all running in the background holding up the user freezing up every application and function that would have been available even giving a hourglass mouse cursor that serves no purpose other than to give false hope. THE PATH IS NOT THERE!! Give up!!!
