That's true -- the Start menu has gone through a lot more changes than the shape of the button (moving from one column to two, for example). I guess I was trying to downplay those changes, which have been less disruptive to my workflow than, say, when "Add/Remove Programs" became "Programs and Features", or "C:\Documents and Settings\pit" became "C:\Users\pit" (and because of backwards compatibility, in Windows 7 we have both). Admittedly, these sound like trivialities. My point is that learning how to use software is work. I've found it to be unpleasant work with Microsoft products, particularly when what you've learned in one release don't apply in the next release. And not in five big ways; in ten thousand little ways.
