You should do a comparison between the latest build and the FIRST build of Windows 10 sometime. Just to show how much it's changed from the beginning. I think it would be quite interesting...

You know what I find funny... Windows 7 Implemented a very Fluent Design-like effect on the task bar (Highlight following the cursor)... That remained in 8 and was removed in 10. Now they're putting it back... everywhere but the taskbar lol.

the task bar in white color looks pretty awesome!

[CrisGarcia]

What about taskbar. No fluent in taskbar

[shaunaymos]

nice vid .. also Windows should have a feature to change folders as easily as FolderChanger. Google "FolderChanger"

[Bigsteelguy]

I don't think people want to see a circle, they want speed instead.

Seems like that we are slowly but surely going back to skeumorphic design.

Not really impressed with the visual effects. Tbh, they could have focused on more relevant things like making the UI more uniform (like updating the file explorer) or improving the stability of the overall system.

What i really would like to see in the latest build is the Wibdows Timeline

[kornkernel]

That's a nice visual and consistency improvements on Start and All Apps. That still makes me wonder why they didn't do this in FCU while at it? Well never know.

Now hopefully they will seriously finish MyPeople especially for Tablet Mode which is horrible to use. People app also needs a serious redesign and features from WP People Hub.

i hope they will add the aero from win 7

Beauty is no matter in Windows we need speed with no error.

Instead of having this "Expand" in the Action Center, they should replace it with an expansion button instead of this text placeholder.

[ivancarrillo]

Wow. Is incredible how Microsoft keep pushing these (not actually functional) design details while most of the UI and UX of the full OS suck as hell. To primitive, to inconsistent, no visually attractive or with questionable functionality. I mean, they are tons of UI concepts on the web, is this truly too complex to be done for a company like Microsoft? … shame

[Itsalekss]

I love the filter thing, especially for me that I am daltonic

[darksavage]

So it's starting to take back the Windows 7 theme?

[DAMII]

can you please help anytime i install an update i lose data and i then have to go my user direcetory to get it back how can i stop this

[konstantinoschtenelis]

Useless changes, there are so many things much more important to change...system monitoring in taskbar, directX preinstalled, proper image editing program, proper image viewer(not this garbage one that smoothens out the images and its UI is for phones), the ablity to uninstall preinstalled programs, sceenshot program embeded and these just to name a few

[Ediln]

Not consitent. Still can see Start have border shadow but no 1px border, Cortana have 1px border and shadow and Control Center have no 1px border as well as border shadow. Still hate the 1px border.

Can I use .gifs with transparent parts in it, for the startmenu again ?
