intuition - Are some of Windows 7's UI less intuitive than previous versions?



One feature I can't understand is the minimize to desktop button. I can't imagine why it is more intuitive to put it as this little tiny transparent strip on the bottom right hand side instead of wherever the user wanted to have it like in XP.


Second feature - you can't put any quick launch things on the start bar. Like if you had a word doco u frequently refer to, you have to put a word shortcut and then the document. So it takes at minimum two clicks where before it took one.


Third feature - The file explorer is much harder to use cause it's got different columns for folders it deems has different content - videos, music, files etc. At least put in an easy way to say, change a folder to have columns you would use to view files. eg. If I wanted to see how big each mp3 was and when it was last modified, i couldn't just change to the file view, I would need add all the columns individually.


Are there features in windows 7 that you find was just better how it used to be?
