No, quite the opposite.

Microsoft do this and people accept it.
In fact companies pay for retraining because every time MS has done it 
they have made such retraining necessary.  Such retraining is a very 
lucrative industry for the MS-hangers-on ecosystem.

(Alternatively you could say that MS has invested in users "learned [or 
acquired] disability[1]" to adapt to change.)


OK, so the way MS works is that even people like sysadmin are taught 
what buttons on the GUI to press whereas the *NIX community works on 
principles and patterns and is more adaptive.


Well everyone except for KDE3 die-hards.






[1] A friend saw his children go though this when he moved from one 
province to another.  The school system had a lower standard for the 
same age-grade so his children took a step backward.  The school system 
was not wiling to admit that they were 'advanced for their age' under 
the new regime.

How long did the whining go on when KDE2 went on KDE3?

The only universal constant is change. If a species can not adapt it
goes extinct. That's the law of the universe, adapt or die.
