Classic website. The thing that gets me is that at this point, in 2019, there are so many users who have been using windows every day for 25 years, and have forgotten that eg Start -> All Programs exists. I truly don't understand how you can use a computer for that long and not learn basics like that.

I haven't used it this way in years. I click Start or Win key and start typing. And this basically works on any OS and the "Start equivalent" (like Spotlight on MacOS, or Dash on Ubuntu). It's far more efficient that visually scanning a list that can potentially have dozens of shortcuts in folders and subfolders.
