Hi,
I think it's because, like me, some people just don't like change after so
long of getting used to it. It makes some people, including me, feel very
small and intimidated. Even if it is just as accessible, it's not what we
were brought up to use. I also use the classic menus.
If I have been shown something with one interface, and it changes, I either
downgrade again, or stop using it. Of course, some people feel comfortable
with change, think it's the latest and greatest, think that changes are all
for the better, but for example I have been using a computer since the day
Windows 95 came out, so to use a start menu for 15 years, only to be told,
no, you can't have it any more, is, in my opinion, heavily illogical and
arrogant.
If I were going to change the interface of a program, I would do it
throughout my very first betas. Once I had released it officially, the
interface would be exactly how I wanted it and expected people to use it,
and it would stay that way, unless of course I got a majority of complaints
that it was unusable for whatever reason.
That's just my thoughts on the matter.
Regards,
Damien.

Hi,
To be honest that's something I don't quite get about VI computer
users. Just about everyone I've met uses classic start menu this,
classic desktop that, etc. Why in the heck not just use XP with the
default settings? I have ever since XP came out, I have never used the
classic menus etc, and yet just about every VI user out there has his
or her system setup to look like Windows 95/98. I just don't get that
mentality at all. It is backwards to my thinking.
A few have told me quote unquote that is more accessible or so they
have been told. That's just crap in my book. Both classic and XP
defaults are totally accessible so that's not an excuse. So there
really isn't any reason for why everyone wants the classic menus etc.
I just don't get it personally.
Now, that Windows 7 is out and there is no retro classic menus etc
that's the main thing VI computer users are complaining about. It is
like what's the big deal. I don't have a problem with the new start
menu and actually like it better than the previous start menu setup.
It is actually a bit nicer once you learn where everything is.
Smile.

windows vista was a pile of crap.
win7 is better than vista.
It also put me off windows.
there is no cclassic menu in win7 though so you will have to get used
to a different type of navigation though once you get used to it
aparently you can search for what you want and it comes up.
I still like the old way.
