I haven't used Windows in years, but this looks like a significant step forward. Its always easier to criticize, but to me this looks like Microsoft is 'getting it' and going to a lighter, simpler, less fussy UI. Good for everyone.
- niels_olson 18y agoBased on the trend so far, I propose the following, which I believe to be very optimistic: Limit (t, now to infinity) Windows --> KDE
- nailer 18y agowell the networkmanager clone could be copying either gnome or kde. But the dock is more an acorn / os x thing
- cstejerean 18y agoThis is pretty good for Microsoft. There's finally a feature in the Windows UI that I would like to steal for my Ubuntu machine: "Dragging a window to the top of the screen maximizes it automatically; dragging it off the top of the screen restores it. Dragging a window to the left or right edge of the screen resizes the window so that it takes 50% of the screen. With this, a pair of windows can be quickly docked to each screen edge to facilitate interaction between them. "
- mattmaroon 18y agoI'll be curious to see how that works for us dual screeners.
- s3graham 18y agoHaha, that's pretty funny: I use Windows all day, and "Dragging a window to the top of the screen maximizes it automatically" will be the absolute first thing I disable. How is that useful on 24/30" screens?
- thwarted 18y agoYeah, I already have periodic problems with metacity's "dragging a maximize window unmaximizes it; dragging to the top of another screen maximizes it there" feature, when I over/undershoot a panel or window buttons.
