I will report back when I have an answer.

That said, Windows is most missing: - An in-built GUI tool, similar to TweakUI for XP, that allows you to fully customize your desktop environment, installed Windows features, and all background services. You should have the ability to configure Windows to YOUR liking, and Microsoft has never been friendly in that department. Included in this "tweak" utility should be control over all installed Windows programs and features, all desktop environment features, and all Windows services. Service configuration should be based on a model similar to <a href="http://www.blackviper.com/" title="Black Viper's" rel="nofollow"> service configurations. For home users, the number of running services can be reduced by greater than 50%, drastically reducing the amount of memory consumed by Windows.

I'm a mac&pc poweruser and I've searched for years to find a solution that would instantly (via keystroke) create a folder on the desktop/explorer of a windows machine much as apple's OS has (cmd-n, cmd-shft-n). It's such a simple thing, but a huge time saver. I'm aware I can do this by using a keyboard macro program, but I believe it's something Windows is missing and should have built-in!

Suppose I know nothing about computers, how about my Windows installing the programs I need automatically? I'd certainly <i>make use of</i> some guidlines in choosing/buying/installing Windows programs. Also, Windows lacks a powerful notetaking tool. Notepad is simple and easy, yet I'd enjoy it having more features, such as organising notes in notebooks, categories, etc. I found package managers in Linux very useful.
