Microsoft To Revamp Windows 10 UI With Upcoming 'Project Neon' Update, Leaked Images Show (mspoweruser.com)

Microsoft plans to revamp the user interface on Windows with an upcoming update called Project Neon. Chatter about this new update has been doing rounds for quite some time, but now first images of where Microsoft is going with the design changes are here. According to MSPowerUser, Microsoft will introduce a new component dubbed "Acrylic" to the overall Windows 10 design, which will serve as a method for developers to further customize the appearance of their universal apps. Project Neon also focuses on Microsoft's efforts with 3D and HoloLens, tweaking UI elements in places where you interact with a mouse pointer.

Oh god, that looks terrible. Good catch. It's an ENTIRE UI based on iTunes for Windows.

I blink and answer "Neon," I thought I'd blow her mind.

What? Have you even used Windows 10? The new Start Menu is infinitely more useful than the old one...

Suppose the auto industry kept changing the user interface for cars? Sure, the early ones has pedals and a steering wheel, but then they switch to a series of levers, and then a joystick, and then two ropes and a broom handle. It's not "INNOVATING", it's screwing up standardized control interfaces!

You just reformat the hard drive, and then install Windows 7 (or your other preferred flavor). Easy as two simple steps!

fdisk, format, re-install
doo-dah doo-dah
patch without the phone-home calls
oh the doo-dah day

Win10 stuck in a big mud hole
doo-dah doo-dah
Cant touch bottom with a ten-foot pole
Oh the doo dah day

Gonna patch all night,
Gonna patch all day,
Same old story, different day
Oh the doo dah day
