Your arguments don't make sense, you're mentioning AGP or IDE interfaces, or floppies, those are technical improvements.
The start menu, that's not a technical improvement, it's a simple cosmetic change to the user interface, and whatever they wanted it to be, many folks think it sucks donkeyd1ck.
They did not need to force their installed userbase to have to adapt, simply because MS decides they should.
They could have left classic in there, just like they had left it in there in some form when they went from 95 to 98, to 2000 to xp/2003, to 2009/Vista.
It's not a technical issue at all
And the new menu, in my opinion is crap. If i have to learn another interface, that doesn't allow me to use the way i used to use my previous one, eg, muscle memory in my hands. Then i might as well learn a completely different OS altogether, maybe Linux, maybe Mac, time will tell.
Untill that time, as long as XP still has all the drivers, and still runs all the programs i need, i'll be using XP. And other folks like me do the same, as such MS made a dumb decision.
And they get away with it, because they force folks to buy their OEM licence when they buy a computer... and few folks complain and request the licence refund form the pc reseller...
