The article says that the program has a "low learning curve". What's that, exactly? Originally I believe the learning curve showed how much you've learnt (on the vertical axis) versus time (on the horizontal). So a steep learning curve actually means you learn fast, and a flatter learning curve means you learn slower.
If you don't know what the curve shows, it probably sounds like a "steep learning curve" is more difficult than a "flat" one - steep hills are harder to climb, right? And nowadays that seems to be how it is usually used.
I'm not sure what a "low" learning curve would be - one where there just is not much to learn? - but I guess the idea was to say that "it is easy to learn". Humans n Here's how I would express that: "it is easy to learn".
The earliest Windows version didn't support color graphics (unlike the Macintosh version, which did). I found this out aftering reading a review of the first Windows version in a old computer magazine.
