In terms of computer use, "intuitive", is in my opinion based mostly on 
past experience. There is nothing in our lives that really mimics using a 
computer.

I wonder if there have been any studies about that.  I agree with you btw.  
When I consider the OS'es I've dealt with and my reaction to them I've been
all over the board.

  VM/CMS - only os I *refuse* to have anything to do with.  Ever.  Period.
  VMS - Enjoyed it, but never "thought" VMS.  Things seemed to be in odd places
  Unix/Linix - took to like a duck to water
  Amiga - thoroughly enjoyed - Intuition (the OS layer that is) seemed exactly that
  Windows - use as little as possible.  Have done registry surgery by hand on my 
      wife's PC to fix some things, and it "mostly" worked...  Disclaimer - I have
      issue with Microsoft that border on the moral/theological...
  OS X - like the user experience, programming it has been on the 'now why'd they 
         do/not do that? <grumble, hunt up workaround>

Be interesting to see if nay studies have been done correlating how a person thinks
with the OS's they like.  Might be a thesis for a psych/comp sci project....
