I hope you don't advocate that all other great properties of M$ products should be copied to Ubuntu;) If others make user's life difficult it's no excuse to do it, too.

Of course the average LWN reader might soon observe that they are sorted alphabetically, but I don't think that LWN readers are the main target group for Ubuntu.
