On the version I got with Vista controlling the transitions is just done by 
pulling them with the mouse and zooming in the timeline for more precise 
control. I'll grant that it's never very precise, but then it's a 
no-brainer, made for people who don't read manuals and don't like to type 
numbers in little boxes with funny names.

Perhaps you just don't get purely visual interfaces? GUIs tend to have their 
own paradigms and figuring them out can take time. Sometimes we put the 
blame on the interface (and rightly so, but I won't tell names...) but it 
may be that people differ in the way they can grasp certain visual paradigms 
and not others (no excuse for Word styles though).
