whats not simple about xp
XP is very simple. I use both XP and OS X at work everyday and in my mind there is no way that OS X is simpler than XP. For example in OS X if you want to require a password on wake up from the screen saver you have to go into system prefs and under the security prefs not the Screen Saver prefs, that just doesn't make sense why would a screen saver pref be in security prefs. There are many more things that just aren't logical. Windows has always had a huge advantage in the fact that it is easy to use. Linux has failed because it is so difficult to do everything for a normal user.
