Users will continue to hit enter if some pop-up always appear whenever they do something (good or bad). Do all of us really read and think before hitting "Yes" after a "Shift + Delete"?

LOL! If they do something, it doesn't matter, but there are other OSs that do it. And just 'coz you say it doesn't matter, we are supposed to accept it and start saying why is Windows 7 scalable to 256 cores, hey Sinofsky, some chandru.in said it doesn't matter why are doing it then?

PS: Had been trying to avoid your bullsh!t in this and other threads, but what the hell!
