Ditto that,
All the XP machines I use I switch back to "Classic" view... it's much
more practical from a developers point of view... I don't like 'wizards'
or anything else where MS tries to guess what I want to do... or hide
what it thinks I don't need to see... I like full control.

Sorry, but I had lots of clients who had a hard time adjusting to
XP. The file explorer windows were completely new, as well as the
Start menu: the two OS features users interact with the most. Many
simply switched back to the 2000 interface once we showed them how
and stayed with it. If XP were an 'improvement', they sure didn't
think so.
So your Mac GUI looks like OS 9 does it :) ??
No, but OS 9 looks like OS 8, which looked like OS 7...
You forget that OS X is a completely new OS; it's comparable to
the switch from DOS to Win95. Yet I don't think that the visuals
differences are anywhere near as dramatic as *that* change!
And among OS X versions over the last 6 years, Tiger looks like
Panther, which looked like Jaguar, which looked like Puma, which
looked like Cheetah. What distinguished each of these releases is
that the underlying OS became faster and more efficient, and added
more useful features that you could access in the same way you always
have. What most people who are used to Windows usually can't believe
is that with each new release, the hardware requirements actually *go
down*, because the OS is more efficient.
