It can be turned off, but it can't be turned off. It's still there, lurking just around the corner, and still showing up in some dialogs.
And I think this is exactly what many people's complaints are in this thread: an interface that is faulty out of the box that needs to be "tuned" in order to change it from an entertainer back into a workstation.
I haven't played with Windows 98 and Windows 2000 in a while, but I remember all sorts of "improvements" over Windows 95, such as sliding menus, "shiny" icons that draw attention to themselves, "shiny" gradient title bars, and so on.

But I know that many areas of the OS, such as parts of the Control Panel, like the Display control panel require, load into memory, and include IE modules. > I do not see how Windows 98's icons were more attention grabbing.
