I have purchased and used every Microsoft operating system from DOS 3.2 to Windows X.P Plus CP/M and the Basic for MicroBee before the Microsoft come along . Enough is enough. Unless I really have to, I’m not going to upgrade. I fail to see logic in constantly changing locations where you can find applications to use and to customise the operating system. Why to change appearance of the icons? Operating system should be learn once and then any upgrades should follow to same path as far the locations of the utilities that configure it are concerned. It reminds me very much of supermarkets ploy of placing milk as far away from entrance as possible in hope that customer will pick up something on impulse while walking thru aisles to get his desired milk. Well keep hoping, supermarkets and Microsoft.
Mind you, I’m not knocking the Microsoft as such. Without them we would not have a computing as we know it today. But somewhere along the way they (same as most of big companies) they lost the plot.
