Not sure if this has been posted previously, but in case anyone is
interested in playing with the next Photoshop:

At a 1.7 GB downlaod, I think I'll pass.
The video for the 6 favorite features comes across like he's reading
bedtime stories to a 3 year old.
I don't know about the "new UI". One of my big complaints with
Windoze has always been they keep changing the interface, so that I
have to learn an all new one every time a newer version comes out.
That's one of the things I like about *nix machines. Just open up a
terminal and you always have a bash prompt, which doesn't change on
the whims of other people.
Put "%windir%\system32\cmd.exe" in to a shortcut on the desktop and
you can have a terminal in Windows as well. Not sure that it would
serve any practical purpose, but there you go...
Windows had a nice, easy to use interface that changed very little
from Windows 3 to Windows XP. And the software authors pretty much
stuck to a standard interface as well. It was as boring as bat shit,
but it worked.
Then MS decided that the start menu system that had worked well for
all that time was no longer good enough so they foisted the new
all-singing, all-dancing start menu on us in Vista and Win 7, which
meant we all had to waste time working out how the new system er....
worked. I did that for a couple of days before I went Googling and
found 'Classic Shell', which gave me back my boring as bat shit
interface. Bliss!
I hear Windows 8 is changing the start menu yet again, which suggests
that the Vista/Windows7 interface wasn't as good as MS thought it was.
But I already knew that.
Windows NT 3.11 was very different from Windows 95. Windows 95 to XP
the UI didn't change much though Microsoft kept moving stuff around just
to annoy us, and yes Windows Vista became the most hated version so far,
but just wait for Windows 8. That looks like it will make you yearn for
the good old days of Windows Vista.
