Don't take this as defending Vista, but just FYI in vista if you don't 
know where something is, you can just click the Windows logo (used to be 
the start button in XP), and in the search bar just type "notepad", and 
it will run notepad for you, and also add a shortcut to it in the 
shortcuts area above the search bar. This also works for things that are 
not programs per-say, like "control panel".

But how friendly is that to new users?

I should be able to get a text editor by clicking whatever shiny menu 
button the GUI offers and then clicking on an option that brings up Kate 
or whatever. Why would you want to click something, then type something, 
then wade through a few items to find something like a text editor?
