In fairness, however, there is a Catch-22 here -- They add options to make the software useful. They leave them on by default so you don't need a computer science degree to setup the computer and get it working on day 1. And now you need a computer science degree to make your computer safer -- ideally, you should turn on the things you use, and leave off the ones you don't. You will see more of this in "wizards" in Windows 2003. ;)
