I don't understand all the negativity in this thread.
Is this Microsoft's crowning achievement? No, it's just a stupid little historic decision that someone remembered and decided to fix. They even took the time to enable admins and power users to use the old behavior. I too don't see who'd want it, but who knows? People do unexpected things sometimes.
Why bash them for that? There are enough good reasons to bash Microsoft... There are Microsoft products that fill me with a fiery rage of a thousand suns. But they did something cute here, someone there deserves a good word.
