ROFL! Oh the horrors of those UI's!
You're right: I'm just a customer. Who just so happens to have decision making power on the desktop OS of a very large international bank.
If Microsoft doesn't listen to us, we don't upgrade our OS. They don't make millions of dollars off of us. It's that simple.
If enough of us (big corporations) do it, eventually Microsoft has to listen or die.
I'm a firm believer in pure market based capitalism and voting with one's dollars.

problem is most large businesses have contracts w/ msquish for licensing b/c of their special deployment setups, and in those contracts are requirements that they buy future o/s upgrades within a certin period after they are released.

Your company and others could try what Munich did, when they converted from Windows to LiMux (their own version of Linux).
Now, 10 years later, and years late, and plenty of dough over their initial cost estimates, and many complaints from their users, they are regretting the conversion, and are now thinking about coming back to Windows.
