I wonder how Cuil is doing right now?

Still cooling their heels? They shouldn't be, because the /rc/etc blog still doesn't show up! Pages pages everywhere and not the one you want. Atrocious.

Pretty much all of the problems with Windows' application installation and launching model are listed in this reddit post. System tray - Annoying. Bubbles that don't go away - very annoying. Every app implementing a different UI - very very annoying.

While some of these problems (File Extension Associations) are caused by other parts of windows, this list barely touches on the other parts of windows and their problems: the registry (a case where individual app settings would have been preferable), managed code (I'd rather write in C), and a really poor UI model (There are around five different ways of writing code to the screen on Windows Vista.)
