I think that just adds to the confusion for a new computer user. I
started using PC when it was still DOS based then went to Windows 3.1
and then 95 and stuck with it all the way to ME. So none of that
came as a novelty to me. But to somebody who is buying a computer
for the first time, people are task oriented. Most people I know
expect one thing to DO one thing. Like this app. It sends and
receives mail. It doesn't draw pictures, or become a database....it
just does what it says. No confusion. Apple keeps it simple and
that's what the average end user is looking for and WANTS. Every Mac
App does only what it says it does. iPhoto--manages your pictures.
iMovie--you make movies. iDVD--you make DVD's. The Finder--you find
things! I know I'm preaching to the choir here. Sorry. We're all
Mac users here (LOL) (I feel like I'm on AOL in my favorite chat room).

Yes, every Windows Explorer window can be turned into an Internet
Explorer window just by changing the "address bar" area from
something like "C:\WINDOWS" to "http;//www.apple.com/" -- I guess
that's one of the "benefits" of integration, but personally I find
web browsing and filesystem browsing to be completely distinct
activities, and this integration muddies that distinction. Also,
you can browse Windows shares by changing "C:\WINDOWS" to "\
\servername." It works the other way too, turning an Internet
Explorer window into a Windows explorer window.
