Old farts?
Maybe what it comes down to is that there are too many old farts posting here? Old geezers who have reached that point in life where they simply don't want to even try to learn something new?

My mom is 91 years and still going strong. I believe that part of what keeps her going is the fact that she still tries to do new things and learn new things. She recently bought an Android phone - not because she needed it, but because she wanted something new to learn about. She's gone through Windows 95, 98, XP, Vista and now 7, without breaking a sweat. Oh, sure, it took her a few days to find her way around the changes between versions, but it was never a huge struggle for her.

From the tone of your message, I'm guessing you are also the type of person who likes to experiment and try new things. Maybe all the people who complain so much about needing to be "completely retrained" to make the transition from XP to Vista or 7 are just people who can't handle picking up something new?
