Ahhhh... vista....

some developer woke up one day and said:

HEY! I have a great idea! Lets hide the menus to make everything harder for
the novice user!

I am sure he was a monkey.

Exactly, the Vista UI is optimized for users who know what's going on; those
who don't have to look under rocks to find old menus. Am I the only one who
thinks that things should be just the opposite?

Well, to me it seems the UI is optimized to PREVENT users from doing
ANYTHING with their system, other than what Microsoft wants them to.
It is an interesting gambit - the less control and options you give
the user, the less problems they can have and the easier the system is
to use (in theory). I think instead of the half dozen or so variants
of Vista they have out there, Microsoft would have been much better
off releasing three..

Business - with the things business needs, like permissions etc
Regular - lacks the features you pay more for in Business, but works
like XP did - sort of configurable and user friendly
Appliance - no options or customization, it just works and you cannot
change much so it cannot be broken
