I like the way MS moves stuff around from version to version, and/or renames programs. It makes for less productivity and increased frustration.

They changed some things here and there but you could always change them back. None of these were as major as the way they changed from Windows version to version. I sit down at a Vista or Windows 7 machine and I have to look all over for stuff. I don't use the newer Office applications mainly for health reasons. It is impossible to find something that was always there. Looks like Windows 8 is going to fix all that by moving it all around one last time. Reminds me of the time I went to check out a rental car and the window controls were between the seats. I had to open the door to check out. Am I just being old fashioned or is it important to change the user experience every version?
