Have mercy on the Less experienced!
Things are missing in Vista and Win 7 that were in XP....
The arrow Icon that brings you up 1 directory. Bread crumbs is....ok.... but why should it be the only way to do things? THe arrow is easy, intuitive, and you don't need to have a command of directory structure to use it! There was an outcry when it disapeared, and it's still not back.
Networking is missing from the list on the right side of the start menu. Yes.... I can add a Networking Icon to my desktop. Yes... It's under control panel. But to the less informed, you HID IT! I tried to pin a shortcut there but can't. I pinned it to the start menu, but this isn't about a fix, or workaround. I'm wondering why it was removed.
Networking again. The default network name was changed. Why? Can't things be easy, and play well with others? Other network settings have been changed, removed or should be there. what if I don't want a password on my network except for a WEP key? Why do people have to relearn things? If it works well, and there is no reason to change it, why change it?
There is no way anyone can say some of these changes are improvements. It's frustrating.
These are only a couple of things I have noticed that bother me... Please listen..... I know the operating system is big already, and the kitchen sink cannot go in. I see other usability requests out there that have been removed for one reason or other, that don't sound out of line to be put back.
If it's something people like and use, why remove it?!! Not everyone is an expert. It was there before... There is plenty of room..... I know the people who design the system know whats going on, and wonder why people need certain things? PLEASE! can you have mercy on the less experienced and put some things back?
Some people might see this as a rant.... I'm not trying to throw rocks, or be negative. I'm just asking a few questions that come to mind. If you know the answers to any of these questions, I really would like an answer.
Make it work - Make it easy - Keep the re-learning curve down. - Unless it's a fix, why make things hard?
