LOL.. You are describing WIndows!
Funny you describe all the reasons why people flock to Windows - because despite it's flaws and frustrations, it's compatibility and extensability is desireable.

The same Windows detractors and FF users talk out of both sides of their mouth. Thanks for poiting that out.
