I'm a Linux user who hasn't used Windows for years and who hasn't used OS X at all. But I must say iPhoto looks more sane and intuitive compared to Windows Live Photo Gallery. (that's one lengthy name!).

Can't imagine how netbook users running Windows deal with that ribbon thing which I think covers almost half the screen.

Some time ago I discovered ribbons can be collapsed (Ctrl+F1, or the icon on the far right). I hated them but when they are collapsed everything is looking clean and they just work like a drop-down-menu with icons.

Ribbons are a big mess but now I don't have to look at them all the time, clearing my mind and my screen.

Double-clicking also works as explained in the article: "Double-click any tab heading to collapse the ribbon so that it looks indistinguishable from a traditional menu bar."
