From your fingers to Nadella's eyeballs, but Microsoft will probably move 65% of its stuff to this style before moving on to the next big thing.
I think it looks cool, but I'd want to see Computer Management done in this style in a way that doesn't aggravate administrators. Mockups are nice, but I'd like to see a design language that works just as well for those who have information-dense needs.
- maxxxxx 9y ago65% randomly distributed sounds about right. Whenever I am using windows 10 I am surprised that they still haven't cleaned up the control panel.
- WorldMaker 9y agoI think they've passed the point where the majority of things to control are now easily accessible in Windows 10's Settings app. Certainly I've switched my habits to start there when looking for a setting and very rarely ever see the Control Panel, but I know it will take a while for everyone to pick up that habit.
- maxxxxx 9y agoIt's getting better but I don't understand why they still haven't converter everything. It can't be that hard to rewrite some dialogs.
- WorldMaker 9y agoYou see all the developers out there complaining that Microsoft will take ancient Win32 from their cold dead hands and complaining about how hard it will be to port their darlings to UWP? It took a decade to develop all the applets in the Control Panel in the first place. While I don't think the conversion is as hard as some developers like to complain it is, it's certainly not as easy as just clicking a few boxes in a 1998-style Wizard to convert from old dialogs to new ones.
