Things I don't like from this demo:
Setup screen:
* Flat box instead of real dialog in the installer
* No box around the close button
* No accents on the next button
* Next button provides no feedback to mouse-over or mouse-click
* List items (the C: partition) has no borders before it's moused-over, it's basically a point-and-click adventure entity where you have to mouse-over everything to see what can be interacted with
Boot screen:
* Flat logo is ugly, should have some accents, original XP logo much better
* busy-bar is weird, it's segmented but the segments do not animate, rather the entire 3 segments slide around.. again, original is much better.
Finishing installation:
* Different type of "window" or container now, still rounded border, missing accents. Inconsistent.
* Items in list again not indicative of being clickable.
* Text-inputs give no feedback on mouse-over or of being selected
* Next button still not giving any feedback
Third installation screen: Stop already. It was annoying in XP too.
Booted:
* UI looks like a bad Macromedia flash parody version of XP.
* And that settings stuff? Oh god why! Bring back the control panel and the dialogues of XP, those were again MUCH nicer.
Okay, this is worse than the orignal in every single way..
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. - Hanlon's razor, but still, it's really hard to believe someone would honestly see these as improvements. Hope for humanity: lost.
What would actually be nice is Windows XP UI, exactly how it was before SP1, but without the bugs and crashes (I _KNOW_ that can be done without messing with the UI) with the ability to run current software on current hardware, with nothing at all changed in the UI.
