Agreed for sure.

Its just surprising that Windows hasn't even attempted to deal with
color management and the web.  Keeping things simple for color
management as the Mac does it also works very well for other members
of my family.  They certainly don't want to be bothered reading color
management tomes but they DO see a clear difference between calibrated
  corrected screens on either system and an out-of-the-box Windows
setup.  Its less so on the Mac.
