An operating system that knows I'm not an idiot.

As seen on CodeBetter.com's blog

"I just want an operating system that knows that I'm not an idiot; that I've never gotten a virus; that I've never propagated a worm; that I don't believe that storing passwords and previous form entries is a smart thing to do; that I do like to see file extensions; that I'm aware that information is sent to the Internet when I fill out a form; and that the natural flow of a web app often means that I occasionally transition from http to https; that I don't care for clutter on my desktop - not even the trash can; that user account controls should automatically elevate without me having to adjust Local Security Policy; that I move my laptop to the other end of my workbench with the lid closed and I don't expect it to go to sleep just because I'm traveling ten feet, and a myriad of other behaviors that need to be adjusted before a Windows box is actually useful for a professional."
