I've used Lightroom since the beta. The interface is far from difficult. Context sensitive informational panes and tools are where it's at!

They need to just throw a UI on a BSD kernel. It's worked out well for other companies.

Yeah, this is the biggest problem. It is annoying to users when they just do some little change like changing "Network Neighborhood" to "My Network Places" -- it causes immense confusion, and rewriting of training and documentation for users. Unfortunately they are largely stuck with staying the same. If I were them I'd keep the XP interface and just improve reliability and performance.

Its an obvious argument. Over 10x more than XP? Its bloated.

I would like to say that for me - as a developer - Vista is a good OS, because when you say that you don't see any improvements over XP except the UI your right. you don't see them, but apps developed for vista do. Like for example the WPA, the transactional file system, IIS7, DX10, the memory caching system, all the security mechanisms, so please stop bulls**tting about the superiority of XP over Vista, if i'd go further with your lane... I'd say that win95 is even better than xp. because it outperformers it.
