Joel is ranting about the 7 ways to turn off Windows Vista. I agree this is a user interface nightmare (there are about 7 ways to control the volume of an application as well, equally frustrating...potentially deafening) However, I think that programmers subconsciously add ways to turn off computers. After all, we all have a fear that someone will design a computer that cannot be turned off, we know that this is the beginning of the end.
