You know what though...when I first tried WP7 I actually couldn't figure out how it worked initially...in comparison my first experience with Android I was able to figure it out from the get go..the only thing that had me confused was the Menu key..

Then again I come from a background of using smartphone in general...so it may have attributed to that :/

as far as not knowing how it works...yeah you're going to have to clarify. I dunno how hard it is to slide up through tiles slide left to access all programs...

Well start key is the App Drawer...when I first got android I realized to hit the home key..but when I wondered into Google Maps for example I couldn't figure out how to get the options lol..

Well yeah thats the thing..the sliding gets a little confusing initially..when I first got to play with it I played with it for like 3 minutes or so..and I couldn't find where all the programs were or where to configure the setting..I got the clicking on the hubs/tiles part but I kinda got lost in the navigation :/

I mean its kinda a physiological thing where everyone's UIs have similarity that even while unique can confuse users for the limited amount of time they get to play with it :/
