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.

    WHYYYYY do people keep suggesting this? The Windows 10 start menu is SO MUCH BETTER than the old style. I don't understand why you would want to bring back something worse. People: change is inevitable. Companies are never ever going to stop updating their products. How is this news? Just get on board and stop whining, you'll find out that very often new is actually better.

    The performance gains alone of Win10 over Win7 are substantial enough that it makes me confident that anyone who is sticking to the latter hasn't tried out the former on the same hardware.

    No, you explain to me how the old one is better beyond "I don't want to learn anything new." It's obvious that's your mentality and I'm not dealing with such ignorant people.
