From an artist/illustrator standpoint, I absolutely hated the Photoshop CS3 interface. It was a nice attempt at being reconfigurable and unobtrusive, but in practice ended up making me hunt for needed things more often. It also seemed to behave erratically, with tabs trying to dock into other palettes, etc. It tooks me a while to get things where I liked them, but it still obtrudes annoyingly.

@gifpaste: I fully agree. I've had two Tivo's, a ReplayTV, and the DirecTV HR20 HD DVR. The DirecTV Is BY FAR the best. It's highly intuitive in it's menu system. It's quick (I have NO idea what dhechler is talking about) and it simple.
The cool part is that they keep upgrading it. They just added dual-live-buffers so you can watch two live shows at once without having to record them.
Verizon's Fios tv has a pretty bad interface. The guide lists the channels, but the program discription appears right in the middle of the screen. I end up looking just above or below, because it's too distracting. Aldo you have to enter a parental control number each time you want to check on Twitter feeds
One feature I like is the ability to reorder the apps you have in your taskbar. I like mine to be in an order that makes sense, so it's annoying to me when I would have to close an app and reopen it just to have it appear at the end of the list (out of place). Nitpicky but I'm glad they added this feature!
@Jrsy Devil's Food Cake®: oh how I miss the G4s... :::sigh::: the new trackpad and keyboard will definitely grow on you, though, if/when you end up with a newer notebook If you give it a fair chance, you'll never go back :)
@brobot: I got a black MacBook when they first came out. I returned it after two weeks for several reasons, chief among them was my dislike for the keyboard. My two favorite laptop keyboards are the PowerBook and my Thinkpad.
And before anyone chimes in about using an external keyboard, it's something extra to lug around and it defeats the purpose of having a built-in keyboard (IMO anyway).
For a moment there, I thought Microsoft purchased Frooch for the video. Anyway, this is good, but I'm totally spoiled by the World Builder video you guys posted before. That was truly a work of art considering the team (one guy) involved in the special effects.
I always pictured Microsoft's future (and Bill Gates') much like this guy's.
