true, that "user only" thing is badly implemented, but that actually traces back to problems with the 3rd party programmers who don't have the brains to follow program guidelines. i don't think that the new start menu is a cool idea, myself, but i agree that either way MS implemented it verypoorly.

even with the best programmers, it takes great coordination between a lot of programmers, project managers, and suits to make even the smallest thing come together on the final software product

apple has a certain mindset where they want to get it right and in the end that matters more to them than dollars and cents

microsoft is about money much more and in the end, that also shows in their products

regardless, though, only an idiot would write a windows application without following the windows application development guidelines. apple has some too. complaining that they have an aspect to their structure that a lot of computer programmers are too dumb to remember to implement in their installations is kinda... well, moot, anyways.
