Is it just the mists of time that make me feel like it didn't use to be this way? Growing up, new versions of Windows got me so excited. 95, 98, 2000, XP, Vista, 7 all made me feel like my computer was better than it was before. Sure there were bugs, but my overall satisfaction went up every time. Now instead of reading to see what feature I'm going to gain, I read to see what feature I'm going to lose. I miss being a Microsoft fan. I miss not feeling patronized.
