Hi Shaun,

You want to know what I find amusing about that comment?

I think a lot of people in this community have completely forgotten
the uproar caused by Microsoft releasing Windows XP. I remember people
on the Jaws list and elsewhere swearing up and down they would never
upgrade to XP, that XP is trash, that they will use Windows 98 until
it dies. Now, some 12 years later exactly the opposite is true. People
say things like "they got it right with XP" but if you were to go back
in time and tell everyone that they would not believe you.

The moral of the story is that it takes a very long time for the blind
community to accept and adopt change. By the time they do they are
already behind the mainstream, and will start kicking, screaming, and
wining about how bad the changes are. A few years later it is all
forgotten about until the next time the evil empire releases a new
operating system that forces them to change.

Cheers!
