Part of the trick is that it demands deep understanding
to detect the antisynergies that arise from the interac-
tions of the DLL, registry, and filesystem schemes.  I
know it was only this year that I realized the whole
installation-requires-reboot absurdity is a consequence
of DLL (mis-)design.

That's judgmental of me.  What I'm saying is *I* wouldn't
do an OS that way.  It's certain, though, that I'll never
extract as much consumer surplus as Microsoft has, so my
evaluations should count for little.
