Hmm, that sounds less negative to me, but since it still focuses on the
negative aspects of the "old DOS interface" (which I actually think are
positives rather than negatives -- go keyboard!), it seems like more of
a 60 or 90 degree turn than a 180 degree turn.
That is, yuu could make a full 180 degree turn from negative to positive
by ignoring the negative aspects of the "old DOS interface" altogether and
focusing solely on the positive aspects of the mouse + GUI, e.g,
"Intuitive mouse-driven GUI interface"
or something along those lines (but less buzzwordy :-).
