Seriously, whenever i've had to help a friend with their computer, i can't find anything in the XP-view...I switch _everything_ back to the classic view - start menu, themes, control panel, etc. I'm not a huge fan of the new layouts and flashy things that just get in the way. Is it just me or does Microsoft like making the process of doing advanced things hard?
While I agree that Microsoft seems to make doing advanced things hard, I do not agree the "classic view" is advanced. The new Control Panel layout is just a different way to organize it. It might be different, but can be just as easy once you learn it well. I have heard a lot of people complain about the new layouts and themes. These people are usually the same people who are afraid of any kind of change. Change is inevitable.
Did you hate the new look of Windows 95? Did you complain back then too?
I am sick and tired of hearing people complain about change just because it is different. There are a lot more important things to complain about besides small changes like this. Like the lack of true privilege separation. Learning new things and ways of doing them is a way of life. Get over it!
