* about things that aren't all that important.
They are important because its one if the tools I use to make a living. Its like someone changing the way a hammer works just so they can sell more. No other real reason.
Oohh, a touch screen hammer. I'll buy one of them.
I think you just described how every single company in the world works.
A touchscreen hammer when all you need is a regular hammer. Oh and the nails have changed as well.
So when you go buy a hammer, saw, screwdriver, can opener, refrigerator, stove, bathtub, toilet and about a million other things you need to look up online how to use them? When is the last time the function and location of the flush thing on your commode has changed?
Why would a computer OS, ie something that has been going for 30 odd years and seeing massive development throughout that time, be comparable with things like that which are all varying degrees of pretty much final form through decades or centuries of development. Though with that said, a new refrigerator will have all kinds of fancy things to learn and just go try using a toilet in Tokyo without getting a bit puzzled by all the buttons!
But yeah, we haven't even worked out what the best way to input things is (mouse keys voice touch kinect etc etc), never mind the interface that pulls it all together. You sound like people who whinged when Win 95 meant the DOS prompt was no longer needed for most things.
If you are looking for a setting of admin thing just type it's name and there it is!
The point is, Ken, that you have a problem with W8 because it affects the way you work. It doesn't affect /them/ and /they/ cannot empathise with your plight.
But I empathise, Ken, I really do. Now come with me and tell of your troubles...[bums ken]
Also now I feel like PB, all getting involved in arguments I have little interest in. Hopefully Xen joins in soon and tells me off for being wrong.
Also toilets have gone from chains to levers to push buttons to dual mode push buttons.
