Sounds like something my old friend Zaphod would say, though I can't recall it.

You mean "tolerating" technology... That's my view anyway.

That means that luckily you are old enough for that (me? not yet  )

Ok, who saw the above and though they did that with Window 8, how did that go again?

I wonder when MS will let ME decide what UI I want to use for MY desktop environment...

I didn't know what to make of it at first, so I glanced at the article and realized that it was a case of what one of my former managers referred to as "Same lady, new dress."

They've been adding a lot of functions so your apps can be more bouncy, elastic, zoomy, rounded and transparent ... but you still have to figure out what the app should do and make it happen. So, yes, no progress.

It seems to me that the phone is more a camera than a phone. Email, Teams and WhatsApp very useful, Twitter, Web stuff not so much.

Maybe they'll bring back the automatic vertical scroll bar that some brain trust at Microsoft decided wasn't needed.
|
|
|
|

Yeah, where did that go...

They do that with every second version.
And the in between versions are there to fix the problems they create.

Saw that. They are bring back Bob.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

They going to redesign the icons?

Nah - they've decided it's too hard. Instead, they will make the start menu into one big button that takes you directly to FaceBook, so you can do everything you could possibly want in this day and age without the strain the previous start menus induced. Very smart people up there in Redmond - gonna take piles of money to the bank!

In my opinion, the best way they could advance the windows UI is to go back to the past - enable Windows 7 and/or XP modes. Everything since has been horrendous.

XP, specifically, in Classic mode.
Usability has only gone downhill since then.
