Gone forward to what, JoannaK? WindowsXP? I'd say that was a step back. Every time they push the hardware forward, Windows gets more bloated and keeps its usability almost the same. Takes a lot of patience to use the thing. It always has.
And lets not forget all the other nice things about Windows, like progress bars that jump to 98% in a second then sit there for an hour, or inexplicable redrawing of the desktop icons (which seems only to have been added to slow the PC down), and lets not forget the Windows registry - perhaps the most significant invention since the Gatling gun. (Which, by the way, despite XP's claims it can self-repair, is often the reason for most re-installs...)
This caveman prefers the FAR FAR superior OS technology behind QNX... :-) Now, if it only had the software...
