Ok, I like Apple. Love my iPod. I don’t get the whole single-mouse-button thing on OS X though. And accordingly when I run a Windows app, I expect it to have a context-sensitive menu wherever I click the right mouse button. It makes no sense not do have this. You aren’t simplifying anything, you are making things MORE complicated because you have to unnaturally jam functionality where it doesn’t belong. I can give you a perfect example.

Who here can tell me what the @#$% the difference is between “Preferences” and “Options”? iTunes has both of these in the same drop down menu. I always pick the wrong one for what I’m looking for.

The reason for this post is that I tried out Democracy Player the other day. Seems cool, it’s sorta like a video podcast TV tuner. Interface just sucks man. It doesn’t do what I tell it to do, and there is no context menu. Ugh. Uninstalled.
