I like that I can buy a computer for £500 and in 2 years time upgrade it for < £200.
I like that I can easily install multiple operating systems, either 32bit or 64bit.
I like that as standard, even on the cheapest computer, my mouse has two buttons as standard.
I like that I can eject my floppy and cd/dvds via a button on the drive (rather than like at uni where we resorted to using a pin to eject floppies that were trapped in a powered down mac)

I like a computer that has a proper delete button on the keyboard, so you are not forced to drag items to the trash.
I also like an OS that allows for multiple select (shift - select) regardless of how the contents of a directory are viewed. Particularly when the default does not allow it.
I like an OS that orders items in a directory. Not displays them on top of each other/unaligned as default.
An Os that does not occasionally decide to list every directory in a directory listing twice would be nice.
It would be nice if the OS could update the contents of directories reliably. Not wait for me to click in it before it decides new files have been created in it.
I want a keyboard with an 'end' key and a hash sign standard. I spent two grand on this machine excluding the monitor. It's not too much to ask, is it?
