Not inconceivable at all. Look up list of things removed in Windows Vista and Windows 7. Microsoft has gone through those releases with a weed whacker, removing things here and there that many professionals, especially people in IS/IT came to rely on. If you find yourself wondering why Microsoft went back in time to 1984 and injected more pixels and colors into the Windows 1.0 GUI, gave it a fancy name and slapped it onto Windows 8... get the free Classic Shell. It works on Vista, 7 and 8, 32 and 64 bit. Gives you the choice of the Start Menu *you* like instead of what Microsoft wants to force you to use. It also fixes some of the stupid in IE9 and Windows Explorer. Three fixes to Explorer I really like are it brings back the button bar, the +- boxes and dotted lines (instead of the copied from Mac flipping triangles) and a proper white text on dark background highlight instead of the nearly impossible to see ultra pale blue that cannot be changed (without a fix like Classic Shell). Makes me wonder if 100% of Vista and 7 testers had 20/20 or better vision with absolutely top grade color perception... or if Microsoft just did what Apple* did way back with OS X - ignored the many thousands of complaints about how awful the thing was for anyone with less than perfect vision, especially people with less than perfect color perception. *And Netscape and sooo many other companies that took clean and clear and easy to use user interfaces, and completely screwed them up for no reason other than changing it just to be changing it. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
