@Shadow Systems "payroll system crippled" - In the US, Slurp might be liable for some damages if their OS "patch" broke the payroll system. US businesses can be sued for both back pay and liquidated damages for any delinquent pay to all affected employees.

I agree with you that it is intolerable for the OS to make decisions that should be only made by the user. The user installed the applications for a reason and the user should be the one who decides when any are removed. The same with any other files.

I know a blind user who is devoted Ubuntu user. Also, Vinux (vinuxproject.org) has customized Ubuntu for the blind and partially sighted users.
