Installing a major update doesn't have to look like ass.


Recommended Posts

A couple of days ago I was watching my FireTV install the latest FireTV FireOS 5.0 OS update. It downloaded it and rebooted. What I saw on my TV during the update was Beautiful, I know it's silly to get all gitty about a update screen that most people just leave the room for. But it does show that it doesn't have to look like ass. Yes, i'm talking about the Windows Insider build / November update screen.

 

So I was wondering, if they borrowed from the FireTV, what it would look like. So for fun, I made some Mockups.

Watching paint dry is more interesting than watching updates install on a PC.

 

Who cares what it looks like, really? Again, another non-issue. 

 

Neowin, all about eye candy... 

Yes, because why have anything look good at all, when it can just look like ass instead. Oh wait, we tried that a few times with Windows. It worked out so well. (Y)
