I disagree that it needs anything to be more practical. How hard is it to use the Start menu and click Programs to see your list of programs -- especially when that's what you do on your PC (assuming you have Windows)?

Yes, WM isn't the most visually appealing OS, but that doesn't bother me. I'll leave the pretty sugar to those form-over-function people.
