Comment on If You Don't Change the UI, Nobody Notices (2009)parent

Comments

The next Windows version should be called Windows Legacy.

Remove all the objectively (from the perspective of a non-oblivious user) stupid stuff that 10 and 11 added including half-baked UIs, extra clicks, inconsistencies, random forced changes, 'AI', etc.

How many of us have encountered 'Legacy' systems that get a bad wrap but are actually responsible for everything?

Eventually Legacy will have a positive connotation. So let's get to that now and resume improving the internals unless there's actually something else to do.

And for those who bring up being afraid of change I propose Windows Random Change edition for you.

the objectively (from the perspective of a non-oblivious user)

You’ll be happy to hear there’s an easier way of saying this! It’s “subjectively”

If you need a shorthand you could also go with “IMO”.

If it's only a concern of a stupid minority of people, then the parent might as well use "objective".

Some people don't believe the earth is round either, but the rest of us don't consider it a "subjective" "IMO" fact.
