How can you effectively use XP without tree views, list views, combo 
boxes, check boxes, search boxes, navigation keys, mouse keys, and so on?
Limiting yourself to programs with menus is shortchanging yourself, say 
nothing of those who pay you to teach them.
I may prefer XP, at the moment, but I also realize that the same skilss 
used in XP will be necessary in Vista.
Limiting yourself, in the way you outline, is akin to a batter not using 2 
hands on the bat, or someone working around the house with one hand tied 
behind their back.
Sure, it can be done; but the results will be less and the difficulty 
increased.
Vista isn't all tree views; nor is XP all menus.
Tree views may initially seem more complicated; but they do allow for 
quicker navigation and at getting at the heart of what one needs.
