As a programmer who wrote (argh!) several applications for windoze, from standard api stuff to com servers, i can't say that windows is simple .. In fact, I find it more complex than unix. My personal opinion is that: for windoz, if something can be made harder, it will be. Opposed to: in unix, if something can be solved simple, then it is .. Of course, for regular user, windoze can be a very friendly (?), easy-to-start environment. But under this inflexible simplicity, it is hiding a very huge mess. But this is just my opinion ...
