Windows Vista (Japanese Premium Home Edition)

I HATE BILL GATES, I HATE BILL GATES, I HATE BILL GATES.

Why oh why do they have to go and create a totally topsy turvey OS? As someone who started his PC love affair with Windows 95 and has progressed through 98, ME, 2000 and XP I just can't get my head around bloody Vista.
As someone who often finds himself with computers running either Japanese or English language OS the previous incarnations have shared a similar basic structure: you may not read a single character of Japanese but you know that if you point and click your mouse at that point it will have the desired effect. I managed to use Japanese language Word and Excel based solely on my memory of the buttons.
Vista takes the old OS and turns it on its head. And yes I have the Japanese version and the lowly Home Premium version at that so if I wanted it in dual language I'd have to upgrade.

No way Bill!

and don't even get me started on the advanced security features of Vista...
