So I went to The Guardian and there was this article about muscle memory and how one uses like keyboard shortcuts and with the introduction of the new windows vista where the keyboard shortcuts are different, it can be extremely frustrating for a user who developed some kind of a relationship with the software as the user learns from the software and that relationship grows and the user becomes even more comfortable with the software and when suddenly a new software comes up and there are different shortcuts for things and then that relationship is now destroyed as the user is forced to abandon old ways and learn news ones, no matter how hard it is to do so. But that's muscle memory, I guess. It's great like to actually know where the keys are on the keyboard so you don't have to look to type but just image if all the keyboards changed. and all the keys changed places. it would still be very hard to change our old habits and muscle memory.
