"The best open source applications and operating systems are more usable now than they were then. But this is largely from slow incremental improvements, and low-level competition between projects and distributors. Major problems with the design process itself remain largely unfixed." Personal Note: I am not sure how many people feel that Free Software has poor usability. As far as the desktop environment, I find most of linux window managers to be the more user-friendly than Windows and OS X.

I'll reply despite your rude behaviour. Just take a look at the command prompt, WMP, Office (as you so conveniently mentioned), the Vista control panel, MS antispyware, etc. The list can go on and on. To add to this 3rd party apps rarely adhere to any kind of toolbar scheme consistent with Windows conventions. What proof do you have to the contrary? A condescending attitude will not suffice.
