They keep moving shit around, after spending billions on usability studies for winxp, and I assume the subsequent releases. Imagine if your car swapped the brake and throttle pedals, or just replaced them with a sequence of buttons on the dashboard. It's monumentally stupid.
It’s genuinely insane how often they insist on reinventing everything.
Literally every time, they insist on changing nothing but rearranging things.
What a shitshow.
People: If it ain't broke, then don't fix it
Microsoft: if everyone is happy with it, then break/change it
Yep, this was the one that still annoys me the most (2 menus within the same menu - the usual vertical one, and another, horizontal, one, down after "more options". "Where's the cut option?? .... Oh, it's DOWN THERE now! 🤬")
