Error Messages
To follow Microsoft's lead, when writing code, the more complicated or difficult the error is to diagnose, make sure that you make the error messages more vague and nondescript, respectively. For instance, if your user has no way of knowing what the cause of the problem is, make sure to make the error message state something along the lines of "Error 10: Unknown error" or "Error 2: General Error", that way the user has absolutely no way of easily diagnosing what the problem is. Or, and this is my favorite, when they go to Online Help, the returned result for the error message is "You should not receive this error".

Genuine Windows
If you decide to install a Microsoft product on more than one system, it's probably not wise to install and run the Microsoft Genuine validation tool.

Big computers
Big computers sitting on the floor are kinda hard to miss, and hurt when you trip on them.
Power
Both ends of the cable must be plugged in for the computer to work. We don't have wireless power yet!
