So, you are anticipating features that have been in other operating systems for years?
- iaskwhy 16y agoTo be fair, both features already exist as third party applications (for years).
- code_duck 16y agoRight, so is it really exciting for MS to make their own version?
- gavinballard 16y agoI get quite annoyed when I read comments of the "hah, [X] has had [Y] for ages!" variety in response to questions like this, as I don't believe they are particularly helpful or address the point. This isn't a question asking for comparisons between Windows and other operating systems - it's looking for sought-after features (whether implemented in another OS or not). Responding otherwise always seems to end up in a fanboyesque argument (see commentary on this recent TC post on desired iOS5 features devolve into an Android-vs-Apple flamewar: http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2011/04/01/10-things-that-simply-need-to-be-in-ios-5/ http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2011/04/01/10-things-that-simply...).
- code_duck 16y agoI"m not saying any of that at all. My point is that probably, there are more exciting things to hope for in new versions of Windows. Or, perhaps as others have stated, there really isn't much to be excited about. All of the major desktop environments do everything a user wants, and it's really unlikely MS will do anything majorly innovative, bold or disruptive in terms of interface in the next version of Windows.
