>>51077970>It's a myth that the start menu was a particularly big dealIn other words, you, subjectively, didn't mind the start screen. Given the enormous upset over it, I'm going to say you're in the minority.
Personally, I liked the Win 8 desktop UI, excluding the start screen. The return to a simpler UI without all the dumb, pointless translucency effects, and clear indication (via titlebar color) of which window was active was fantastic.
IIRC Win 10 added the new copy progress dialog, but since they aren't smart enough to queue copy operations, you end up with exactly the same disk-thrashing situation you had before, unless you babysit it and manually pause-resume each copy operation, so I might as well have the old one.
The new settings dialog is, for no good reason, completely different from all other UI, and as soon as you go another level deep you're back in Battleship Gray Win2k lasnd.
Man, I wish they'd get their shit together.
