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?
