Yeah, and GOMS analyses, while great at measuring maximum UI efficiency for expert users should be at best a secondary tool for designers, IMHO. The best thing (as always) is to do a study with a selection of target users. To put it another way, if browser mode is harder to comprehend for file management, why is it good for control panels? -- Michael R.
