Bart brings up some good points.  Maybe we don't
need the OS to change as much as we need users to
change, and, of course, a few noticeable deficiencies
in available apps corrected.

It's possible to see the O.P.'s argument as,
"since Windows rules the world, if you do 
what they do you will rule instead...."

Reminds me of a story about a snake, a chick, and
an apple...IIRC, that didn't work out too well ;-)
