Windows is totally graphical, that doesn't make it easy to use.  :-)
Remember, though, many people still find it much more efficient
to use a CLI, so the graphicality of a system should not be the
measure of its usability (no, I'm not trying to start the CLI vs.
GUI debate).

Correction:  Under MS-DOS floppy disk insertion is not handled 
by the system.  Under other PC OSes it is optional.
