We should devise something similair to the Win95 GUI (which _is_ easy to
learn), but we should make the system MUCH MUCH better!
We should also make the OS logical.
W95, resets my taskbar settings every now and then.
I've set the taskbar to hide, but every now and then these settings are
reset so I have to set it to hide again!
Then we should document everything (no undocumented shit!!) and we should
set up tutorials so easy, that even my mother will be able to learn to use
OD faster than W95.
