The now-beloved Windows XP interface that people called childish at its introduction? You're not the only one.
Although in fairness, moving from the lower-saturation Windows 7 to an XP VM was shocking all over again. So many colors!
- Consultant32452 13y agoI remember the XP start button being called childish because it utilized a color scheme straight out of the Playskool toy section. It wasn't the functionality of the start button at all. We had been happily using the start button since.. win95?
- sliverstorm 13y agoI definitely heard a number of people complain about how it was organized. I forget exactly what the complaints were though.
- MartinCron 13y agoThe XP start menu was different in that there were high-profile things "pinned" to the top of the menu and then other things were under the "All Programs". Also, the icons were much larger than the Windows95/98/ME/2000 start menu.
