Old People.


No offense, but my parents just LOVE all the new nanny-state modifications to windows... it makes it so that non-computer savvy folk can be confident that they will not destroy their OS, and it makes them confident they CAN, say, put an image in an email.

Case in point, the decision to make all the menus in 2007+ Windows software is so kinesthetic it makes me gag... but people who aren't previously acquainted with computers find it easier to look for a picture of what they are trying to do than a menu item followed by data fields requesting numbers and commands for formatting.
