well div layout isnt exactly correct design, theres a number of errors on that page transitional doctype, div's inplaces there they shouldnt for instance the menu is a list, so why use a load of divs when theres a perfectly good list element. but interms of design yea looks nice.

Microsoft and their "beta" obsession.... :pinch:

...isn't that Google? :laugh:

People who are still on 56k aren?t friendly anymore. :rofl:l:

*thinks back to when he was stuck on 56k for dialup* I'll agree:D:D

Something makes me think they outsourced that to a different team than their main website

Like someone said before, they got a hold of Apple's design team:laugh:h:

I like this features:Windows Flip 3D

If that tickles your fancy, you should take a look at this:

Project Looking Glass

Which, though still in development, was out way before Vista...and is alot more promising should this technology ever take off.

XP with bells and whistles for the generation that likes shiny things - sigh - thats what we get from having those colourful dangly things over babies cribs. From what Ive seen so far there is nothing I want Vista for but like I have a choice. So many years just for this? I haven't been impressed by any of the builds I run so far at all. :no:

Sorry guys, nothing personal.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
