Windows XP annoyed the hell out of me when I first got it because of crap like this "learning the user" nonsense.
Right now it's my mobile phone's Japanese IME - it tries (I think) to learn which kanji words I use most frequently, then the next time I do the same input the kanji results are re-ordered, but it's often totally screwed up, showing me obscure characters I've sometimes never even seen. Maybe it's just buggy, but what's wrong with simply predetermining the most frequent uses and making that the ordering? A.I. needs more work, and e should be managing my windows perfectly and giving me lots of funky eye-candy before trying to understand my thought processes!!
Then again reordering functionality could make a fair candidate for e17's mysterious "psychotic" or "evil" cmdline options...

also a smart "paperclip" that pops up and closes unattended windows
and other stuff like that.. Yeah!
