This thread is regarding the news story on the front page talking about software not being "user friendly." I would have to disagree. I am so fed up with people that have this kind of mentality. The problem is that software is TOO user friendly. Am I right? Doesn't anyone agree? People want everything entirely too easy. Technology advances yet people get dumber. There are still people out there that can't even program a VCR and you expect them to know how to run Word, Excel or heaven forbid, Access. Don't get me wrong, I love XP, but it's "Tellitubby" interface and "ease of use" is rather annoying. In making everything easier for the idiots of the world they have made it more of a nucence for those of us who know what we are doing. Maybe I am old-fashioned. Have you seen the screenshots for Longhorn!? OMG! How could they possibly make Windows easier!?! Well, they will attemp to. While your at it why not make toilets that wipe your @ss for you, or cars that turn your turn signals on for you when you want to turn. COME ON! I have to spend 30 minutes after every install disabling all the "user friendly" add-ins of most programs. Well, I guess that's why I still have a job. I would like to know what everyone else thinks...
