   IN WHAT SPECIFIC WAYS?   
      
   HOW was it supposedly "counterintuitive"?   
      
   See: I can list some ways that Windows as it stands TODAY is downright   
   user hostile.   
      
   1. Windows 10 created a new application called "Settings"...   
      
   ...but you still needed to use the Control Panel for some things.   
      
   And that is still true (albeit to a lesser degree) of Windows 11.   
      
   2. How do you change the scrolling direction of the mouse wheel   
   (assuming your mouse has one).   
      
   I could go on, but believe me there are others that astound me all the time.   
      
   And overall, the fluidity--the look and feel--of the interface is just   
   terrible! The pointer doesn't move as smoothly. The rendering of...   
   ...everything in the UI looks terrible.
