It took me 1, maybe 2 days to adjust to the new interface? I don't see
how it's a big deal with everyone. 

This kind of reminds me of the situation Windows was in when XP came
out... same with Vista & 7. There was tons who couldn't get use to XP
colors, Vista's Aero, or 7's application (and useful) stacking task-bar.
So they use old windows classic interface on their HOME workstations,
missing out on the productivity benefits by refusing to adjust to a new
system or interface.

Oh well... fine if they want don't want to upgrade but I don't see how
coming on the technical support channel complaining about it solves
anything.
