Fear of change... again?
The fear of change mantra is getting real old, real fast.
I don't fear change. If I did, I wouldn't have learned how to use Linux, and change distros all the way to ArchLinux. That's change too, and I wasn't affraid then.
This latest bit about the chaotic desktop is very funny, but not meaningfull. Like the first guy posted, my desktop is not filled with Icons. Further, I have found these kind of desktops to be mostly (with only a few exceptions) the territory of the problem prone inept user. If that is the kind of person MS listens to, then MS doesn't want me as a customer.
The main reason why I object to "the change" is that it bring nothing BETTER with it. Change for the sake of change is, to put it bluntly, stupid. Of course what is new and shiny might sell better, so for MS it might be good. I have no doubt that I could manage under Metro, I also have no doubt I would have no benefit to do so, neither in speed or efficiency.
Since I see no benefit to Metro, I don't like it, period. An emotional response of fear or dislike of change simply does not exist.
