>Most of the complaints I hear come when Microsoft changes the Office interfaces and usually runs to some form of "I just learned where everything is, now I have to do that all over again!"

Same for VS2012. Now why would they *not* change all the toolbar icons for the same exact functions you had in VS2010? It makes life an adventure to have to figure everything out again. We have lots of time for that bullsh1t.

Go ahead Craig - give us the microsoft line about that too.

>>I remember when Windows XP came out there was a lot of resistance. Now the same people that initially resisted XP still won't move to Windows 7, because they just love XP. As you say, it's human nature. OTOH if you don't change anything dramatic people will get bored and run away, so it's a fine line between keeping updating the user interface and scaring users.

>>>I won't disagree on that, but it *is* discoverable. The biggest issue is not that Microsoft changed things. It's that by human nature, we're resistant to change and we have to change how we do things, so when change is forced on us, we complain. Is it better in Win8 than Win7? I can't say, but really, it's not that big of a change.
