You forget that Apple spends a lot of money doing research to decide in advance how you should use their OS. If you don't like it, you've apparently just got to wait for them to slip a pod under your bed. Microsoft _says_ they are doing this same thing, but they're basically only spending a pittance on that and the rest on deciding how you can best pay for their OS.

Of course if you hadn't turned traitor on us this wouldn't be a problem. You could be using Metacity, which still has all these nice features.

Come back to the Penguin.
