On my... when XP came out there was a lot of the same complaining.
People were used to the bland Win2000 interface and the new XP
interface took a while to get used to.

Now with Vista, it's deja-vu all over again. You will get used to it.
Time moves on and we can't stay with the XP interface forever.
