I'm often struck at how badly software designers still misunderstand how the user will want to see things. </cheek> (note: not aimed at Plan 9, which may well be my least hated GUI and my least hated command line) Anyway, re: your hardware comment: even in virtualisation, where the hardware is actually software, they still do it wrong.
