Agree with you there, ysss, but also no other device is so not-suitable for the mass market. The way I look at it: You get some pretty decent hardware, with some pretty decent OS and after that it's up to the user if he bumps into problems. At least, that's the background thought I had when I bought the machine. And so far, I'm loving it.

So: It's not an annoyance that he says it's a simple thing to do right, it's an annoyance that he complains about it while he should've solved it, one way or another, id est, if it really is that simple an issue as he claims.

I use tracker-cfg and it works reasonably well, allowing me to hide folders from the tracker and such things from a GUI.

Slightly OT: Wasn't the improved indexer one of the selling points for Vista at the time?
