The point is this: a UI is something you learn, just like a language

Uh, NO! The whole point of a GUI is to do away with arcane learning curves and make using the computer intuitive.

And if you want to go that way, in OS X you can go to Applications, Utilities, Terminal to open a terminal, and type "ifconfig". Windows' ipconfig is just a later DOS version of this ancient UNIX command.

Windows XP was released the same year, and embodied changes as major as those in OS X. It incorporated the 32-bit NT kernel, and radically reworked the Windows UI.

Sorry, but throwing a Crayola theme on top of Win2K is not a radical reworking of the Windows UI.

Must be a horrible life to have to use something you so obviously hate everyday just to pay the bills. Just goes to show justice can at times be poetic.
