It still takes a lot of political effort to change primary UI features though. And I think that's a good thing.

  Travesty is a bit hyperbolic, no? The Win10 UI works. It's stable. It's reasonably efficient at getting things done. It's reasonably compatible with people's expectations of how Windows works. (no Win8-style revamp of Start, etc.) There's parts of it I dislike greatly, personally. (Cortana, the Settings/Control Panel split.) It's annoying and unpolished on parts like that, but I can't say it's a _travesty_.

    It's ugly (especially the dialog boxes) and obviously targeted at tablets. As the Surface don't perform well, I hope one day Microsoft will come back to its root and release an edition of Windows tailored for the PC.

      That's exactly right. It is so ugly! And in the recent builds I've been seeing blurred fonts everywhere. I do like that they are moving fast and most changes are good. For example the pseudo transparency effects alleviate some of the ugliness concerns.

  I like the Windows 10 UI. It's a lot better than 8 and 8.1. I like it better than 7 too for the most part.
