They can change it to whatever as long as it's fully consistent and doesn't have menus from Windows 95. At this point I don't even know if it's possible.
I thought Windows 95 menu bar was quite functional once you got used to it. https://regmedia.co.uk/2015/08/24/win95start_648.jpg
Is this a good time to ask if anyone has some good reasons to upgrade to windows 11? ( other than getting security updates past 2025) - I would love to hear them :)
I bet if I throw the cursor to the bottom it will miss the icons, making it less usable for non touch users.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I found myself buying a computer this holiday season and spending over a thousand dollars on it. Then realized Windows 11 isnt the Pro version, anyway I went to add a new Windows User and the app told me to go to another app because its not supported from there in my edition of Windows, when I got to the other app, it said to go back to the first app. I literally just said screw it and installed POP OS. Steam runs al…
Yes this is annoying. Ideally my computer should just do what I want it to, and not gaslight me into whatever metrics Microsoft program managers are optimizing for to get their bonuses…as in selling more OneDrive or Xbox live subscriptions.
Microsoft is a new company since Satya Nadella took over. But one thing hasn't changed: shameless, mindless copying. If they copied well then that would be one thing. But they don't copy well either. In Windows 10 (and 11 too) if you resize a window by dragging the bottom border, the bottom of the window does not quite touch the taskbar: there is a few pixels of gap, which is just a waste. I didn't understand why the…
Guess that's why it needs to be made worse! First the start button shifting depending on how many apps you have pinned, now the whole task bar in the middle of the screen.
I can only congratulate. Maybe they could try placing it diagonally.
If they're going to block off ~20-30 pixels on the top of the screen I'd really prefer to have the option to put something more useful than weather and an omnipresent search field there. I know they're not to everyone's taste but it wouldn't hurt to have an option to replace those with a global menubar for example, because I don't need to know the weather that often and a hotkeyed search ala Spotlight, Alfred, or Mic…
Totally killed the Taskbar. Funny that they’ve gradually been transforming the best part of Windows UI into the worst part of MacOS UI.
Maybe they realized during a QA meeting that it was too good for their standards.
Was it really accidental or was this the plan all along to gauge response to the change?
