I don't have a problem with the Windows interface in most respects. (The
underlying OS sucks and there's a lot of marketing-driven cruft in
there, but I think Gnome will avoid both those problems.)

Obviously there's room for improvement, but that doesn't mean we're
better off starting from scratch. A lot of work has gone into the
Windows interface over the years (compare win2k with win3.1). It's
unlikely that they got *everything* wrong.
