Subject: Rebel Century - Windows Program?

I just got my copy of Rebel Century today and installed it.
I had high hopes from what I read and from the screen-shots. However,
I mis-read the ads for it b/c I thought it was a windows program.
I was wrong. Just another ugly DOS-like GUI. Can't minimize.
Can't re-size. I hate this interface. The font is ugly. Maybe
I can change this? The user manual is difficult to use.
The database search was slow and so far I have not been able
to figure out how to do much with it. The menus only respond to
my mouse if I hold the mouse button down for about 2 seconds.

Overall, I have to say that compared to the much maligned CM7K,
this program stinks. I opened up CM7K, installed it and have
had no problem figuring out how to use any of the features. Plus, the
GUI is great. Sure, there are a few small bugs, but nothing really
bad.

Does the Rebel DOS-like environment and all the other things I
mentioned bug anyone but me?
