Forget control panel design, there'e no hope. How many things in seven are prefixed with "Windows"? That's my favorite part about the control panel in vista. Windows Anytime Upgrade. Windows CardSpace. Windows Defnder. Windows Firewall. Windows Sidebar Properties. Windows SideShow. (bonus points if you know the difference between the last two) and last but not least Windows Update.

I'm sorry, but that's outrageous. It's a usability nightmare. It's bone headed. It shows a lack of any understanding of how UI should work. It shows a lack of respect for the end user. It shows a lack of respect for the administrators who have to deal with MS's crap. I for one am glad the world actually stood up and told Microsoft where they could shove vista.
