They are part of W2k and a essential part two. Take a look at this baby:

All but the most uncoordinated. I only really use a few commands from
the command line. And those few are also available from pull down menus.

Some people do better with hieroglyphics others do better with
alphabetical languages. There is nothing that prevents a Unix user or
the provider of the Unix-based tools from creating a set of pull down
menus, which then bring up GUI's just like Windows does.

Just a data point...
I've worked for 3 different companies in the last 18 months (midlife
crisis, I guess...) Of those:
Company #1) Engineers tend to run NT, while marketroids, sales,
accounting, etc. run 75% Win9x 25% NT. Firewall is Linux.
Company #2) Engineers split about 75/25 NT/9x. Those running 9x tend
to dual-boot to Linux. One guy ran FreeBSD almost exclusively. Most
non-engineers I encountered ran 9x. Firewall is Sun.
Company #3) Nobody runs NT. Everybody runs 9x or (shudder) ME. One
hardy soul dual-boots to Linux. I don't know what the firewall is.
FWIW, companies #1 and #2 sell capital equipment that incorporates an
NT host computer. Company #3 does not. All three companies are
relatively small, with between 50 and 200 employees. I ran NT at the
first two companies, but now I'm stuck on 98 (I hate it). I develop
software, but not for Windoze. Certain EPROM and Microcontroller
programmers do not run properly under NT because the software is
written to access hardware directly. This is getting better, but is
still a problem.
Followups trimmed.

Icarus

Millions of IQ-100 secretaries were able to achieve sufficient

pulling down menus is slow, and leads to tired hand/wrist/arm, and
as such, is ONLY suitable for newbies.
Since most people graduate from newbie stage within a couple of months,
LOCKING them into menus only is a hindrance to productivity AND annoying
to the user.
Why do you think so many Windows users HATE windows.
