I was typing about things that a windows user wouldn't call 'exotic': grids (as in spreadsheets and similar tables to browse and update a database with data- aware picklists or fields with edit masks in the columns), reports, charts and graphs, multi-column virtual lists (as in the windows event log), interfaces to the midi and media player, web browsers, printer setup and print dialogs, search and replace dialogs, multi-page wizard forms, forms that give an app a UI like IE or Outlook, calculators, data-entry widgets that work with edit masks, date entry widgets with pop-up calendars, numeric entry widgets with pop-up calculators, etc, etc, etc, etc. Al
