I wish there was more of that in the world. You’re among the generous, who for no monetary gain, considerately extend themselves to help other people you’ll never meet. I am grateful to you, & that there are people like you out here in the world. I find myself having to use later versions but it’s often easier to copy things to 2000 and work on them in that, copying them back to later versions if necessary.Ĭhris, you are one of the rebel champions of the internet who keep the equipment churning, in a “Road Warrior” sort of way. OK, later versions might be much better behind the scenes but the user interface of the later versions is simply not as nice or easy to use.īeing retired, I no longer have a support team to hand to explain how this or that bit now works and, let’s face it, I have better things to do with my personal time than learn a new way of making a machine do what it used to do perfectly well before it was “Improved”.Īnd don’t get me started on the “improvements” to Microsoft Office (by which I primarily mean Microsoft Word) it’s interface hit its nadir at Office 2000 and has gone downhill from there.

It’s a case of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Later versions keep trying to second guess what I want to do or else decide for me what I want to do. Very importantly, of all the versions of Windows I have used, it is the one I have the most experience of and it is by far and away the nicest to use. It is simply my “home” machine for doing my “home” stuff on. Firstly, it is on a stand-alone machine and doesn’t have to deal with the Internet.
