Its not just that... There are people here who claim win10 is "nice" but have obviously never really _looked_ at it. It takes about 1 minute to start 4-5 different applications which are the equivalent of a 20 year history lesson in windows UI's. There are the win3.1 interface which is basically a menubar, there is the 95 era ones which have a menubar and button bar, and maybe even right click works, then there are the ribbon applications, and the modern/metro ones. All shipped with windows, so we aren't even talking about 3rd party apps at this point. Even then we haven't even talked about MDI, or the mishmash of shortcuts for doing the same operation depending on which application.

Yeah, I was only giving the example that came fastest to mind, given that it bites me the most often.
