While I agree that Microsoft seems to make doing advanced things  
hard, I do not agree the "classic view" is advanced.  The new Control  
Panel layout is just a different way to organize it.  It might be  
different, but can be just as easy once you learn it well.  I have  
heard a lot of people complain about the new layouts and themes.   
These people are usually the same people who are afraid of any kind  
of change.  Change is inevitable.

Did you hate the new look of Windows 95?  Did you complain back then  
too?

I am sick and tired of hearing people complain about change just  
because it is different.  There are a lot more important things to  
complain about besides small changes like this.  Like the lack of  
true privilege separation.  Learning new things and ways of doing  
them is a way of life.  Get over it!
