From http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/grids/ : On the advice of our designers, the 100% grid (#doc3) has 10px of margin on the left and right sides. This prevents the content from bleeding into the browser's chrome. If you prefer, you can s

Upmodded you because i don't see why your comment points should be negative, but let me assure you that your 50 year old aunt won't be able to install MythTV or whatever on windows either, it depends on the app, not the OS.
