I don't know anything about Vista, but you may be right about similarities. I understand that there are now International(?) guidelines as to what constitutes usability. I suspect that many of us would argue with some of those guidelines.

Probably so, but I think we could agree that Microsoft tends to do what Microsoft plans to turn into an international guideline (case in point OOXML). ;) As for the menu, its nearly identical in behavior where you first choose a subfolder, then that subfolder's contents are displayed but the previous menu is not. You must scroll inside the menu size rather than having the menu expand for long lists, and to go back up the tree you have to click elsewhere. Its very slow to work with.
