Me too, FWIW... it takes all the issues I've ever had with the MacOS control panel (having to scan in three dimensions-- category, left-to-right, top-to-bottom, rather than just up/down), and magnifies them greatly due to the additional necessity of scrolling, and the much larger number of available applications compared to control panels :/ The intial popup window has a similar (if lesser) effect on me too, I'm afraid-- it just kind of splats a whole bunch of visually-competing buttons and differently-sized icons in my face, with no immediately-obvious structure. (Then again, I always hated the XP start menu and the Vista one looks even worse to me, so maybe I'm the wrong audience here...)
