I once interviewed with a game designer (sports games - 
popular ones, too). He spent half an hour slamming MS's UI 
(his games run on Windows). Then he pulled up his latest 
(opening to a sports stadium) and said "Now here's a real UI". 
So I said "Show me how it works". 

The bozo ended up clicking on random things on the screen 
until something finally happened.
