   What microsoft did right with win95
  My friend''s in japan right now and I''m too lazy to do the math in my head to calculate what time it is over there, so I brought up my time and date properties dialog in windows to switch to the japan time zone. Now, in windows 95 you could just CLICK on the little map and it''d highlight the timezone you clicked and it''d do a cool little scroll animation and center the place you clicked. now, in windows xp, you gotta select a timezone from the fucking dropdown menu. you can''t click anymore!! Why the hell did microsoft make this so!! 
  So you''d have a reason to upgrade to the next os when it limps along. You don''t think every os actually gets better in every way do you? Without purposely laden "flaws" the market would close upon itself. ;  It''s feature creep. The clickability crept away. ;  but still! I miss this feature! Maybe in longhorn ;quote:It''s feature creep.

No, hunger is the side effect of laziness, when you can''t be bothered to get up and make something to eat. "Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?";  or use babylon translator - realtime translation of any time in any time zone in any language by using any currency.really, i use it now for more than 2 years and it''s great - the ultimate tool.

My ''88 copy of Mac OS has a Map control panel that lets me see the timezone in any part of the world by clicking on a little map. Granted, it died somewhere around 7.6, but still a cute little widget. And I don''t miss it. ;  Microsoft probably got rid of the map feature because few people know geography.
