I think you really hit the nail on the head with the keyboard shortcuts thing. On Vista and beyond, they made the listview headers accessible by Tab in Explorer. This was STUPID. So XP really is dead easy to use with keyboard shortcuts, particularly in Classic mode. OSX by default only lets you tab to text boxes, which you need to change in System Preferences, but can't get to without a mouse because you can't tab to the control to change it...... the irony......
