the tile moving thing actually kind of made sense as a touch ui i guess but my win8 computer is a desktop running a purportedly "desktop" operating system

jony ive aces posted:and they were going to go even further with reimplementing windows 95 features in 8.1 or 8.2 for free but then were like "fuckit we'll just put these in windows 9 so people actually have a reason to buy it" This is why the took the start menu out of 8 so people would beg for it to be added back in 9 and then when they brought it back they would stick in some advertisements and people wouldn't care because they are so glad to have their start menu back instead of having an apps page like in 8.

PleasureKevin posted:matters to whom, the PR team that will parade your garbage around? at microsoft research? i'm not sure if you guys are using that term correctly, "microsoft research" isn't product research, it's basically like google labs. for example, the microsoft surface table that was like $15,000 and took up an entire room and was p awesome, that came out of microsoft research. the microsoft surface tablet that makes you want to dance and click in, that did not.
