Just call the 'traffic-lights' a kind of 'paraphrase' of the real
deal. They are a brilliant adaptation, close enough. Simple, elegant. If
MS came up with that they would make them octagons and about 4 times larger.

They did, but they used squares.
Do you mean Win7. I've not seen it... I do have WinXP SP2 sandboxed on
2 Macs (via Virtual PC 7). Instead of those ugly squares with totally
unappealing icons, I might have at least suggested the red, yellow green
from their logo, keeping the flag shapes.

This is not a mistake, because i don't want to stick with the OS X theme for
too long. the transition to OS X from OS 9 was a big deal for many people in
terms of the UI, but people got over it as it is the way the next generation
of Os's will look.

I'm not sure what you mean. If anything, vertical make the window slightly

Does anyone dislike the new UI? I don't but this is the same way i felt
about Aqua when it first took over the platinum theme weird and new...
and the well known What is Apple up to this time? kinda feeling.

I really hate the look of iTunes 10, but there isn't really a new UI, just
those odd vertical buttons and lack of color on the icons. I have a feeling
that the vertical buttons will be a lot like the tab bar in the Safari 4 beta.
Apple will try to justify it and back it for a short time

iTunes 10 works for me, but the thing that you guys call a Nightmare UI is
the same way people felt about switching over to OS X on the days of classic
for their UI.

I started using macs since the days os OS 7.1, and the UI switch to OS X was
fairly easy for me, in fact i accepted the new UI, and am glad that Aqua cam
around. Now, Aqua has been twisted around with leopard and SL so much, i
wouldn't even call it aqua any more. I might as well call it graphite.
