I have to agree with Michael - just try to find the RUN command in VISTA
- that'll get you a good beginning as to how/why the average MS user
gets frustrated when a new version of WINDOWS comes out.

Most unfortunate indeed, but exaggerated or not? This situation is
trivial for a small organization, of technical people, and compounded
exponentially in large organization of non-technical people. Some of us
on this list are very educated, with lots of technical experience, and
take to new technology very quickly. Most end users are not that savvy
and may require much more than ten minutes to become familiar with
Vista, mostly because they just don't want to. So, how do you tell an
upset user over the phone to right-click on the START button, when Vista
doesn't have a button labeled "start", and that is just the start of the
problem. I had one woman call me 2 or 3 times a week, for months with
Vista problems. She is a experienced and highly respected sales rep who
had suddenly (without a choice) had to use Vista, because XP was not for
sale!
I think some people see it differently because they are so intelligent.
