Windows is no more intuitive than any other user interface!!! In fact its debatable that its any good at all!!! Its just that millions and millions of users have been trained to think that the way MS does things is the "right" way. Further, unless the screen looks EXACTLY as the windows screen does they are lost. That is because instead of being taught concepts of user interfaces they are taught "point here, click there" and that is why they are so lost when even the slightest thing changes. Its total BULLSHIT that MS has made Windows any better or more intuitive than any other interface.
