windows 11 UI is being hyped soo much it feels like microsoft just invented rounded corners

It's almost as pathetic as a man repeatedly overstating his girth.

Not even mad anymore, it's just sad.

I hope it's possible to turn off the rounded corners but somehow I doubt it'll be an option.

At least they removed Cortana from the task bar. But I doubt you'll be able to turn it back on if you'd like.

@ScriptCoded they added the weather in there. SMH

@Floydimus Oh no, in 11 as well?

At least finally they’ve realized there are examples of nice looking os ui around there to copy…

@ScriptCoded not sure about 11 but they are definitely ruining 10 so we all migrate to 11.

@Floydimus Yeah, I've said it before here, but it looks like the good ole' IE toolbars. It's even blurry...

Windows 11 is hyped?

What I hear is people with opinions between "I guess there's a few nice things", "I don't care at all" all the way to "over my dead body".

Maybe I live in a different bubble, but I would describe the interest as mild apathy rather than hype.

The day fully-featured Visual Studio is available on *nix is the day I leave Windows forever. I'm actually considering dual booting as is. Just gotta figure out how it would work my current drive structure

@Nanos Microsoft's idea is that you go to a store, and buy a laptop.

No DIY PC building. Preferably no pre-assembled OEM workstation either. Just get a Microsoft approved laptop.

If windows crashes to the point where it needs a fresh install, you toss it, and buy a new laptop.

Retail windows is too easy to pirate. Microsoft's anti-piracy policy went beyond DRM, to "If everyone just buys laptops, the Windows license is already included in the sticker price"

So stupid, everyone knows that apple invented the rounded corners

P. S.
I hate rounded corners

@rEaL-jAsE Yeah sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but computers will become like smartphones where you have to root it (if even possible) to choose a different OS, which will make you sign a disclaimer that it expires warranty.

@Nanos No, our market research shows you want a thin laptop with a touchscreen which converts into a tablet, with a keyboard with zero tactile feedback, a battery which is advertised to last 16 hours but you're lucky if you get 4, a mousepad which heats up your wrist so you can feel your carpal tunnel better, an ultrareflective glass display, one single USB-c connector which doubles as charging, display and audio port, and a metal unibody faraday cage casing so your WiFi regularly drops.

Now, do you want the gunmetal or vaginapink edition?
