To tell you the truth, MS’s human factors engineering folks with respect to programming options really bit the big one on this ‘7’ release. I can’t find anything! It is just a waste of time to ‘modernize’ and ‘improve’ something that works acceptably. There are harsher words I’d like to use here but decency (and the ‘delete’ key of the moderator) preclude that.
I can't speak for Windows 7, but in office 2007, they rearranged all the menus so that I can't find anytning. And, many of the keyboard shortcuts I used to use are no longer available.
Why they changed it, I'll never know. I guess just to change because there's no logical reason for the new interface. To me, it's as if GM had decided to put the headlights on the back of the car because they thought people were tired of seeing them on the front.
I think that when I replace the laptop this fall, I might opt for an Apple.
