=====================
From: "Geo." <georger@nls.net>

I like new functionality as a rule. I don't like losing functionality as a
rule.

So for example the new task manager or when I open my computer and see the bar
that shows how full a drive is, these are things I like. The new "personalize"
window (right click the desktop) sucks as does the default view of control
panel, those would be examples of bad change where it's like Microsoft forgot
why windows uses icons.

I also like IE7, it is more secure and I really like that it puts that line at
the top to explain what it did and easily let me do something unsafe when it
blocks something. It shows someone was thinking in that it give me protection
AND the power to easily override that protection so I'm in control of the
computer. This is the thinking MS needs more of.

   New things or changes?  I can't remember examples of you liking change.
I'm sure you do have some examples but you post much more on how much you like
things how they were with one big obsession that you don't like UI changes in
particular.

  Seems to me I've posted lots of things I like about vista.

     Plenty of others have commented on how this change is an improvement.
I
  would have to disagree that you like change.  You post a lot on how much
you
  dislike change and very rarely on change you like.

    I like change, when it makes things better.

    You need to do some tech support with people who call ISP tech support.
  Tell
    them to click on the third parent and they'll tell you they only have
two
    parents.

       Lovely reasoning which if followed would mean that nothing should
ever
    change again.  Good luck with that.

       As for folks that can tell you the location currently viewed so you
  know
    they are three levels too deep and can count to three to click three
times
    but can't click on the third parent, using the backspace is a fine idea.

      and how does the new UI perform a quick 3 clicks on the up arrow? You
  are
    on
      the phone trying to tell someone who is 3 levels too deep to go up
three
      levels and you can't read the directory names, go ahead write up a
step
  by
      step that works for everyone like "click the up arrow 3 times". Oh
wait,
    you
      can't do that because the words change depending on where you are..

      Sometimes consistency is a good thing. Especially if you do tech
  support.
    So
      now instead of click the up arrow every procedure has to be changed to
  hit
      the back space key and explain which is the backspace and which is the
    back
      arrow keys..

      Imagine what a colossal pain it would be to write a procedure like
this
  if
      the backspace key didn't work in previous versions, you would need a
      different procedure for each version of windows.

      Microsoft needs to realize one of the strengths of windows is that
    everyone
      knows how to use it so stop changing how to use it and instead build
on
    this
      huge advantage.

         Horrible analogy.

         The new UI performs an up one level in a single mouse click just
like
    the
      old fixed purpose button.  The new UI performs an up two levels in a
    single
      mouse click instead of two.  The new UI performs an up three levels in
a
      single mouse click instead of three.

        We removed the gas and brake pedals in your car, you just push back
on
    the
        seat to brake and pull on the steering wheel to accelerate, we find
  this
        much more intuitive... and since pulling on the wheel increases with
        acceleration it's actually more efficient.

        The up arrow is probably one of the most uses buttons. It was a
  mistake
    to
        remove it and not even leave an option to turn it back on.

  computers
      and
        start from scratch, why?)

           I don't get this.  The up one level button was removed because
the
        address bar now has the ability to go up any level by clicking on
the
    name
        of any component in the hierarchy.  It also has the ability to go to
  any
        child or sibling of any component by clicking on the down arrow
before
    or
        after components in the heirarchy.

          I have very limited experience with Vista Explorer, but I concur
      mightily
          about the loss of the up button in the file-pick dialogue.
