No no, Ditch. These people who learn approximately 3% of the total functionality of a given OS and terrified of any change, even if that change is purely cosmetic, have valid opinions too. Sure, they are totally clueless about the issues with XP, sure they are happy, willing away their hours with a Win 98 interface, utterly missing out on the benefits of Aero, but by Jingo they have "an opinion", so their blind ignorance, inability to adapt and utterly blinkered view of one of the most rapidly advancing technologies on the planet are not faults or flaws, but principled stances on the moral decay of computer interfaces.
I mean, what kind of dribbling buffoon would want ease of use, functionality, accessibility and security
all in one package? That kind of talk is clearly to be reserved for those metro-sexual, long-hair types that use Apple products. Its far more cool to be all hipster about it, not understand what they are talking about and look down their noses on everything.
Well I did mention it was the interface of xp I liked, I know it had a lot of issues, and vista too I heard, but I like all these 'rapidy advancing technologies' but when they hand them to me can they hold the bullshit animated menus, and minimalization? It's recent interfaces I'm fed up with in general, collapsing things into menus, and tucking features away, ah yes good for keeping things tidy, but they'll do it whether they need to or not. It's like this fucking TV if you lose the remote you're fucked, but the last TV didn't need it's remote, because whoever designed it wasn't an idiot who thinks we all live in a world where we keep our remotes in safe glass cases, and have a fit when there's too many buttons on our TVs.
They're selling things by making them trendy, and people are lapping it up like good little doggies, nevermind if it's overpriced or of any use to you, it's got all these apps and you'll look well good. Of course OSs aren't getting worse, and of course we threw out the old tv because it was a clunky thing dwarfed by our new one, that doesn't mean I don't think there's a ton of bullshit thrown in there, and it certainly doesn't mean I'm clueless for thinking that is a load of shit.
