Well, some people are stuck with Windows, since VPN/Exchange/WLAN/...
is just to much hassle to set up on my work computer without any support
from the IS departement :-(

But, there is a lot that can be done to make it behave more like Unix.
For example, I am using the AutoCopy addon (http://autocopy.mozdev.org),
which makes just pressing Y do the trick even on Windows, no remapping
or anything.
