Default Must buy new computer...Ideas?

Per Yousuf Khan:
sometimes Microsoft
has a tendency to move the furniture around in Windows


I like the phrase. Nice and concise, paints the picture.

But it begs the question: "Why dey do dat?".

Just one user... maybe a few man hours or (in my case) days.

But a corporation with ten, twenty thousand users? That adds up
to big money.

Don't know, Microsoft might say that they do that because they got some
big scientific study that says users prefer this control or that control
in a different location than it is now. But I suspect the real answer is
that they get bored and decide to redecorate, just like real people.
