would be nice if microsoft had some sort of "launcher" like you see on all the good mmorpg's. pop open the launcher and it checks for updates and antivirus BEFORE it lets you out of jail to the rest of the world.
Heck, I'm just asking for simple stuff like Microsoft supporting the rest of the PPP protocol, and displayed the Reply-Message sent by the network to the computer's user instead of thowing it away. That way you could tell the user why the network is rejecting the access, instead of the generic Microsoft error message. Instead of using the features built into the protocol, because Windows doesn't support the PPP messages, everyone else has to come up with other ways to inform users what's wrong.
