@sodohTo be fair, Microsoft did publish a set of guidelines for how to design a proper UI, but most developers ignored them and instead wrote shoddy systems that ignore your system theme, hog resources, and do loads of unnecessary crap.
Apple takes advantage of designers. I know a lot of software companies that employ just programmers. Programmers do not always make the best user interface decisions. (radio list ?)
Reading about blu right now."That's right. We've added tiny url support. Simply type or paste a link into the update bubble and blu will convert it for you. No extra buttons, no extra box."That is damn cool.

dnite has it right. From what I've seen so far the ads are very non-intrusive so the free version isn't bad at all.

@JYoungest1: You're right. Windows developers just don't care enough about their software to pay attention to user experience and details.

Pro Tip: don't preface a comment with "protip," which is not a word in the English language.
