I agree with you, James, after using NT for several years at home and work. And I have one addition/modification to make to your list:

4a. The "registry" is by far the worst-designed system administration interface ever devised by man. Largely unreadable, searchable only with difficulty and with mostly useless results, structured to suit a machine rather than a human administrator, and dangerous to the nth degree, making it a snap to screw up your windows system irrevocably with a single wrong keystroke. The registry makes all those scattered win 3.1 "ini" files look like the bleeding edge of computer science. Unix has a couple of real klunkers such as the sendmail configuration file, but the Windows registry stands alone at the summit, or rather nadir.
