> I would totally accept an argument that this button is a silly example to care deeply about. I'm not trying to make an argument about that feature. I think it's a good, overt example of Microsoft's attitude towards Windows users. There are many others like it and many are more and less offensive. > I mean, why not? You seem to have missed my point here (my bad). In the hypothetical scenario (the key points of which you are repeating) the imaginary UX team did their job well, by making the outcome of each choice more clear than they would/could have been and possibly even giving the user more than zero choice in the first place. > Of course they are! [responsible for the company that employs them] Of course they're not! It's obviously not that simple. You seem to be making/repeating a "no one is holding a gun to their head" argument. There's not really any way to argue with that, because it's such an extreme point of view to hold. So I'll just say: Yes, people make choices. I thought we all knew that. I also thought that we all knew that there are any number of complicating factors involved in any one of those choices. I think you should consider that not everyone has the power or opportunity to do whatever they want to at any point in time.
