Because it IS a failure of UI design. Then again, to say that Windows was
designed, is to misuse the word in the first place.


And here I was thinking that, of the two Matt's posting these days, you
actually had a clue.

Sorry I have been proved wrong.

There are things all over the place that are counter intuitive. Like the
Western AI, and windoz, when you get used to something, it is not a problem.

I have heard there's another OS that puts the "turn off" function
under a menu named "Special". What's so special about turning off the
computer?

(And you talk to Matt about having a clue... Let's hope your clue is
better when you talk about aviation.)

What's that got to do with it, other than an admission that the original
design (used almost two decades) was wrong?

Since you haven't contradicted a single thing I said, you have no point.

Better no point than no clue ... or, even worse, no sense of humour.
