They found out that android is the most popular operating system and figured that copying it would increase their market share.

This one isn't terrible. Still worse than Windows 10 with tiles.
>>
>>107103167
Can I just have an option to go into my installed programs list whenever I open the start menu? I can do that with explorerpatcher installed but would prefer it if I didn't have to use third party stuff for something simple like that especially when it breaks with every windows update
>>
>>107103206
this is like metro for windows 8 but somehow even more retarded why does it need to blur the background
>>107103269
all of them are terrible, the one you quoted is the least horrendous one. W7 did it best
>>
>>107103295
No, Windows 7 was already making lazy shortcuts on account of the search bar. It's nice that it still had the control panel button though.
>>
>>107103169
Like it or not, but in windows 12 that will be your entire desktop.

They ruined it with 7 (or vista?) to promote the search feature I believe. They made the start bar program list alphabetical with touch screen spacing, but then backtracked to allow the classic program folder list. 8 went full retard, then back to the alphabetical list, now it's icons and search bar again. Some cunt at Microsoft has this as his vision for what the "app drawer" should be and has been pushing it for like 15 years.

Yo dawg, I heard you like the desktop directory. So we put a desktop directory inside your desktop directory, so you can desktop on your desktop.

>(with vista) can we have the old start menu back?
>(with 8) can we have the old start menu back?
>(with 10) can we have the old start menu back?

when in the goddamn FUCK is microsoft going to get this through their fucking skulls?

>>(with vista) can we have the old start menu back?
Fuck are you on about? It's not radically different from XP. Vista is THE last version to offer the classic menu.

Why the fuck won't they just let me use the classic explorer ui from W95 that shit is still in there and you see it in different settings panels even in W11. Fucking Group Policy editor it is right fucking three.

>start menu
use case? at best it's a program search tool to me. I never use it outside of just blindly typing word and hitting enter.
>>
Why the fuck are people so bothered about a menu? Type the name of the program and it should show up.
I swear to god this is why 8.1 failed so much. People going on about the fucking start menu. Towards the end of its "life" it was great but no one cared at that point because they were either getting used to 10 buttfuckery or staying on 7 permanently. It could have had at least 2 or 3 more years of manufacturer driver support but nope, people disliked the start menu.
>>
>>107111928
if you click the search bar or start typing in the start menu you cant go back to your pinned stuff without reopening.

We have slipped down that slope looong ago.
We are currently speeding through the "actually we spy on you and sell the data to all our partner" section.
Terminus is : "we own you, and you better feel grateful about it".

>>107103167
Could they maybe CONCEPTUALIZE a vertical task bar?

>>107105214
Windows 11 is still Spying on you, even if telemetry are disabled completely. They were still spying on you and the CEO Satya Nadella can see your logs directly from the Microsoft servers.

A concept that works so fucking perfectly, Apple made it the desktop itself on the iPhone while every Android maker copied the idea too.
>>
>>107111943
Jank as fuck in Win11 unfortunately. It doesn't replace anything, it just overlays another start button over the original. You can see it peeking through sometimes, and it glitches out often if you click with the mouse.
>>
>>107103167
is there a way to make it faster? Its very sluggish and no my toaster isn't old its from 2019.

I just want to have my taskbar on the side without having to use windhawk, man. Why would they remove that? A horizontal taskbar is a waste of vertical space.

>is there a way to make it faster?
This is as fast as React goes. Look into StartAllBack, Openshell, or Windhawk.
>>
>>107115462
can't I just remove edge and therefore disable the web stuff?

Lolno. It's still a pile of shit that takes a few seconds to open.
