Microsoft Windows is
badly in need of a
UI that's nice.

Some feature filed under
‘Accessibility’
makes it superb – but you
can't find it twice.

(Brought to you by several pints of Kopparberg and [livejournal.com profile] fanf praising the ‘mouse trails’ feature in Windows.)

You're thinking (with probability approaching 1) of Wendy Cope on Emily Dickinson:
Higgledy-piggledy---
Emily Dickinson
Liked to use dashes--- in
Stead of full stops---
Nowadays, faced with such
Idiosyncrasy,
Hard-headed editors
Send for the cops.

You are 100% right. I'm very impressed!
