And that is part of the lock-in: An imposed way-of-working that ingrains
the inflexible expectation of employees who have only ever seen
"Windows" for their entire non-IT trained life as users.

Some people are very afraid of change and so have a strong need to be
reassured that their working life will remain 'unchanged'...

Does that necessarily mean "game over"?

Even though you have the contradiction of the upheaval that Microsoft
themselves are imposing with their changes from Win7 -> Win8 (forever
updating) -> Win10.


This is mainly a game of branding name. However, hopefully there is room
for manoeuvre if good reason can be given.

In any case, there has got to be a good way possible after all our years
of computers!


Cheers,
Martin
