Annoying isn't always fun
That may be fun to do the first time around, but what about the 3000th time because you're in IT supporting a hundred or so machines and every time you reload them you have to spend the first 30 minutes re-configuring everything back to how you want it?

Like after 4 years with Server 2008, every first login still presents the Server Manager (check box for "do not show this at start-up") and IE pops up the "Do you want to set up your preferences" and Explorer defaults to not showing you the folder tree, file extensions, hidden folders, or anything else an admin needs, and the Start menu's first option is "Shutdown" instead of "Log out."

MS annoys us with multiple versions of Windows - why not give the Enterprise and Server versions a corporate-level Logout menu and sysadmin-friendly defaults?
