I guess the thing is, people just don't learn Windows any more. Because it's so ubiquitous, and so 'just there', they tend to forget (or never learn) that there's a lot of good stuff going on underneath..
I'm just as bad: until recently I'd never used symlinks on Windows (as I've done for years on UNIX).. And most people don't seem to realize that Windows has a very powerful and capable scripting host (and one that works with UniObjects, which is great..) The list goes on..
