I agree totally!!! W2K and the Microsoft philosophy of
trying to do as many stupid values adds, to justify
there ridiculous price tag ( given the volume sold )
are incredibly annoying.

User interfaces need to be intuitive. For linux
applications it is better to satisfy the 90
percentile. Bells and whistles should be left to
professional software companies in competitive markets
where the price tag and the functional inanity reach
mind boggling levels.

What is needed is good robust applications that offer
sensible functionality with intuitive user interfaces.
