I see you're trying to convey an emotion. Would you like to:

1) Reboot, reformat, reinstall?
2) Send GPS coordinates for 1 Microsoft Way to NORAD?
3) Smash your skull through your monitor?
4) Re-enact Kill Bill, but with a different Bill?

Typical railroadcontrolfreakfinitegameclosedsystem design, not including an "Other" or even an "Exit to Previous Menu".

(Note: general observation, not specifically targeting MS.)
