Fucking Microsoft. Why can't things be simple and standardized?

Like the reason ctrl+f in Outlook is to "forward", rather than "find".

I've made this "mistake" more times than I'd be willing to admit.

backwards compatibility.

people who have been using those applications for decades do not want those shortcuts to change for any reason.

Haha, I wish they'd thought of that before they implemented the ribbon to replace the menu bar. I can't imagine how many hours of productivity were lost for people dealing with that change.

[naikrovek]

they did think of that...

you'll be happy to know that a lot of the ribbon is going away in favor of small buttons with icons on them, and people are losing their minds over it. so no matter what Microsoft do, millions of people are gonna bitch about it and complain for years and years.
