However, I still have memories of trying to get a Windows PocketPC 2002 phone working to access the Internet and having to use a non-intuitive method of doing so.  Other phones of the time weren't as hard to set up for the same task.  Sure, you had to have a rudimentary understanding of how they achieved it, but once learnt, it was intuitive.  Not so, back then, on a Windows phone.

When I'm talking to Windows pundits, it's a favorite example to bring up to show some things Windows aren't as "user-friendly" as they're made out to be.

Of course, this week I'm bitching about how unintuitive it is to sort power-users in Google Buzz into some form of filter and/or label.

The easiest and most intuitive thing I can manage there is to get buzzes out of my inbox and into a "My Discussions" label.  What's not intuitive is being able to put buzzes from Robert Scoble, Mashable, Techcrunch and Louis Gray into a "power-buzzes" label.  I think I've tried multiple variations of their names and even moused over their profile names to find their google name to input into the "from" box in the filter.  No dice.  Instead of going to their own separate label, they're still showing up in the main Buzz label.  The Google Help files in this case could be more...helpful.

There's no way inside a buzz to just checkbox these names into a label.  Now THAT would have been the INTUITIVE way to do it.

It doesn't mean you're stupid if you want a way that helps you understand and do intuitively.  The word "intuit" means you're able to figure it out in some logical, sensible fashion.

I sit there in the meantime getting frustrated with a non-intuitive way to sort things and have to waste valuable time trying to track down a solution instead of writing.

Let me know if you have similar frustrations with devices and/or programs that are counter-intuitive.
