Yea I remember the days of obscure hacks and fixes for windows. The good thing is that lots of people use windows, so eventually you'll find it. But I can honestly say I've never had to do any weird hacks since I've switched to mac.
very first thing i had to do when I tried a mac mini before it didn't feel like I'd contracted some kind of motor neurone disease was install some dubious hack (If I recall correctly it was called iMouseFix or somesuch). And the default schemes pissed me off, I messed with them a bit trying to make them less eyesore-esque but gave up after realising magnifique (sp?) themes were just bad hacks also.
This whole "it just works" thing never ceases to confuse me.
Gave up, went back to linux, never again considered a return.
