Wellll.... that is not entirely true. In a previous life I worked for a
company that did stuff for MSWindows, and I noticed that every couple of
years there would be a new fashion for How To Do Things. The old one
usually still existed, but didn't get updated anymore so using it made
you look old-fashioned (i.e. "different from the way Office looks").
(This way they keep everybody chasing a moving target, thereby always
being behind MS itself).
