I love how microsoft never learns their lessons.
Thanks, I hate it
Had to spin up a virtual windows machine the other day and was just honestly appalled at how bad the desktop experience is these days
That looks pretty ugly. I'm not really a fan of trying to make computers look more like phones but I think I'm in the minority there. Oh well, I never use the start menu anyways, I only have a few programs and they're all pinned to my taskbar.
Not sure when it started, but I've already noticed some Start Menu fuckery with just the 'Sign Out' portion. I believe you previously just clicked on your profile picture/name and the options for signing out were right there. They've "helpfully" hidden those options now beneath a ••• menu for no apparent reason. I was a little aggravated when I first noticed it because it seemingly changed out of nowhere. Not a huge change, but it requires one more click to do now.
Right click the start menu should be easier to get to iirc
the changes in windows since 7 are a master class in UX design, as long as you remember it's a negative.
Looks like MacOS and various Linux distros had a deformed, illegitimate child.
IF the categorization works well, and that's a big if, I like it.
And if the categorization isn't absolutely perfect, you can bet everyone will be clamoring to be allowed to customize it or disable it.
I for one dont see the fault in the design itself. Geniuenly looks like something usefull for pepole that use lots of tools.
If not for the fact that it already exist in the goddam pinned section in start menu and it replaces all items menu. Whyyy? These are not replecable by each other.
I can’t wait!
Lol jk I don’t use Windows garbage
They are removing the only really useful part of the start menu. Fucking genious.
