The basics of window management in Windows haven't really changed a whole lot since the days of Windows 3. Did they get a new lead designer named Venn?
"'Sets' will come with some important wrinkles, but first a word on the name. Microsoft knows that the name 'Sets' is not a great one; when you're talking about the feature, it sounds a bit like you're saying 'sex' all the time."
Yeah, I can see Microsoft wanting to avoid that connection.

Do you use a laptop or tablet to take notes during school lectures or meetings? If so, you might want to reconsider pen and paper; there’s increasing evidence that using laptops during lectures decreases learning. "Rarely is the question asked: Are... is our children learning?"
Definitely a problem in meetings

Never take notes. They're worthless. Either you'll retain the information or you won't.
After more thought: lectures are terrible for students.

As intuitive as tablets/laptops are they still require attention to be used and a great deal of visual interaction. Jotting down notes is fare easier and can be done virtually reflexively and without watching.
If I take notes I give 90% attention to the lecture and 10% to the notes... with a laptop it's at most 50-50.

A pen is all well and good but will it tell you the result of last race at Newmarket or the latest cricket scores? Will it let you read your email? Will it let you watch cat videos? I think not.
People should think a little harder before making such sweeping statements about ... hang on, have you seen the story that's just come up about people having decreasing attention spans?

Been arguing this for a while now, I retain information from hand writing notes better than typing. Still hasn't helped me get hardware for transcribing said notes to any form that others can use. In fact the studies just cause heels to be dug in even more.
To be honest, I'm curious if it is because I grew up with pen and paper and will the same hold true for younger generations.

No need for any actual person to obtain quotes from either.
Here's how it works, "According to sources..."
That proves it. It is definitely true because our sources are experts.
