I HATE IT. I do NOT need a browser in my video player. I dont want every program on my machine to always try to access the internet. I want each program to do its own specific job, do it very well and NOT TRY TO DO EVERY FUCKING THING ELSE TOO!

I agree with you 200% percent. I don't mind if I can boldface text in Word 17 different ways, but why do I want a browser in my video player, in my Explorer windows, in my IM client, etc.
I can probably come up with more examples but it's early in the morning.
Here's a feature I'd love to see in the next version of Windows: a choice of running the GUI in Novice or Expert mode. For example, Windows XP's Search feature is a hassle to use until you get rid of Fido and change the preferences to bring up _just_ the text fields to search on. We shouldn't have Wizards forced on us by default.
I understand why gearheads go the way of Linux.
