I don't agree. There's nothing unusual about a dumbed-down interface for novices, with an 'advanced' tab hiding more options.
As someone else has pointed out, a lot of usability experts consider this a bad idea, for two reasons:
- everyone thinks they're an expert, even if they're not, and hits
'advanced'
- it creates a confusing decision point for *everyone*: how do you know
if you need the 'advanced' options? You can't really know without looking at them, so you have to look at them to decide if you need them, so essentially we're presenting the advanced options to everyone...
Well most people just press "Next", "Next", "Next" ....
