Just like anything luxury that you buy, like great handbags or a pair of shoes or even expensive cars, there is a care that’s needed for the device. And so from the materials perspective, we will ask customers — specifically customers who might stain it or drop something on it — to go ahead and wipe that right away. There’s a simple way of doing that with a microfiber with a soap and water solution on it. You don’t need any special chemical and you can wipe it off. Then just care [for it in the same way] that would go into anything that luxurious. That’s more of a periodical thing, not super frequent, something you might look at doing every six months or something. And so if you think of the livelihood of this laptop, somewhere between four and five years, it’s not that often you have to do it in terms of taking care of it.

I love how consistent MS is with this stuff, when you see something that looks stupid and the obvious problem cases for it but a very small part of you may think "well they _must_ have thought of this I guess, so I'll wait and see" and MS eventually confirms yes, we are indeed this dumb

I think it's clear that their product people are rewarded for simply shipping, without any consideration for obvious flaws or strategic errors

the best part is none of it matters outside of microsoft's own apps because everything else on windows will continue to use custom themed everything to remain on brand

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

how come nobody points out that "Bob" was just a poor knockoff of General Magic's Magic Cap system by people with no concept of taste?

six years? some of that poo poo goes back almost 15 years, to the development of Avalon/WPF with its intentional lack of a standard theme and internally-consistent widgets "to be more like the web"

i'm starting to miss having a menu bar instead of tasks I want to perform being maybe on the left or maybe on the top or maybe even sometimes popping up on the bottom for some loving reason

but that's what i get for using windows 10 with a mouse instead of in our touch based future or whatever
