That he’s quoting fitts law to me shows how frozen in time he is. The start menu is something you seldom use; the milliseconds saved in mouse time is effectively irrelevant over time, and completely irrelevant in a touch based system. What’s more important is that people understand what’s happening, the system is simple and self explanatory, and feel happy using it (meaning the UI/UX is attractive and consistent). I’m not saying Windows 11 is any of those things, but Fitts Law is the furthest from their worries. Yet it’s the kind of thing that came out of HCI conferences for years with little lasting translation into the modern era.
