A few weeks ago I asked that even MORE basic question, since I had
tried it and concluded that it was slick but was badly in need of a
problem for which it was a solution.  The response was underwhelming -
NOBODY defended it, and the only people who responded agreed with me
that unless you secretly wished you had bought a Mac, Windows was
nearly worthless.
