I thought I did when I acknowledged media player? But you still get my point
that pretty much all apps have file/edit/view menu structure?

Ha, now you sound like Kai from Kai's power tools, he said almost those exact
word to me when I told him what I thought of his clever but annoying user
interface.

I believe the computer should work the way I work, not the other way around.
People shouldn't have to learn to use a different user interface for each
application, what made windows nice was that all the applications got similar
and much easier to use compared to dos days. Menu structure standardized, apps
shared device drivers, things all started working in the same way so you didn't
have to relearn to use a computer every time you bought a new piece of
software.

MS has lost sight of that. You've gone and hired a bunch of people who didn't
use computers back when windows was becoming more and more popular so they
don't know why things are the way they are. I'll bet your youngest programming
teams work on IE and Media player huh?
