I took this comment to mean that "for this person" it was the beginning of the end. I feel the same way. Windows 8 and onward got really weird really fast for a lot of people who used Windows for decades. I'm not saying the old style is better for everyone, just me.
- BLKNSLVR 4y agoI actually meant it globally, but if I was a better person I would have meant it "for me, personally" ;) > I'm not saying the old style is better for everyone, just me I'm on the same page. But also, I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with getting used to the new interface, except it doesn't show all the things the old interface had, some of which I use(d) frequently enough to be annoyed about their absence, meaning that I'd have to go back to the old interface, in turn meaning that I can't yet forget the old to make brain-space for the new. I find this infuriating, possibly because it highlights my brain's personal tech-debt; some kind of "curse of knowing".
- somebehemoth 4y agoI agree with your "curse of knowing" sentiment. Learning new things is much more fun when new things are demonstrably better. I don't think that many of the changes to Windows since version 8 are demonstrably better. Thank you for taking my comment in the way I intended.
