Ehh? I don't buy this at all. Tell me what "Excel", "Powerpoint",
"Access", and "Outlook" do, just from the names.
On most platforms, the majority of names are not intuitive. While I
agree that Unix names aren't near the top of the list for being
intuitively named, it's certainly not the worst OS, either.
