I hate apple, but why is it so pretty? why can't microsoft into design? (we all know freetards can't into design, so no need to ask)

Can't microsoft just hire some real designers?

Dunno OP.

This right here, this made me switch to OSX and only use W10 for games. I cannot stand this design. 8.1 wasn't too bad except for the start menu which I didn't use much anyways, but W10 is just unbearable. It makes me vomit. Not only that, in a decade they haven't changed the font rendering. It feels much easier on the eyes when I'm using OSX.

not if you wanted an Apple product.

You could buy a two-button mouse designed for windows computers, and plug it into your Mac. Sometimes it would even work. You could not, however, buy a two-button Apple mouse.

To this day you cannot buy a 4+ button Apple mouse, despite side buttons being pretty near ubiquitous in enthusiast PC mice.

The product I posted is an ADB mouse you drooling moron. It was designed to work with the Macintosh.

You can plug in *EVERY* two or more button "Windows" mouse that conforms to USB HID and it will work properly.

No shit:

Microsoft Program Manager Karen Fries and partners developed Microsoft's Bob, a suite of eight programs that use animated characters to impart instructional tips to novice users. The program, identified by a happy face logo, was recently introduced at the 1995 Consumer Electronics show, but it took three years of persistence to get the world's dominant software force, Microsoft, to stand behind the project. Some experts point out that using animated characters in software has been tried unsuccessfully before. However, the concept of computers helping users by prompting them with questions has been gaining popularity and is part of an effort to change the way software is designed. Apple is planning to include a similar dialog in its Copeland and Gershwin operating systems scheduled for release in 1996 and 1997. Bill Gates, Chmn and CEO of Microsoft, believes the influence of Bob will be greater than its sales figures.

They later fired her after Windows 10 flopped, but she was in charge of the UI changes from 8 and 10 was really her baby.

I never got the hate for OS X from Windows users. If you're OK with closed source software, I think Apple embraces the advantages of closed source software better. ie: they don't try to be open, they manage their "walled garden" to give you a better experience if you stay within their ecosystem. Microsoft tries to keep you within their ecosystem, but it's shit. Windows phone is shit. The Xbox is shit. Etc etc.

Only neckbeard fedoras run whatever desktop that is in your pic. Ubuntu and OpenSuSE look great, out of the box.

If they weren't largely poor they'd have grown up with Macs, and therefore be used to quality interface design.

The downfall of UI outside Apple is due mainly to poverty.

They may have admired Rams, but Ive steals mostly from Josef Frank, a Swedish designer.

Pic related is a mirror design made in the 1950s by Frank. It's basically the shape of the macmini.

Windows is being held together by 3rd party utilities, some of which haven't been in development for years, each using it's own design guidelines. There's no real way for them to achieve consistency on things like icons because they'd need to do it for every application that was designed by pajeet in 2006.

The inability to achieve matching icons for system tools in windows 10 has no excuse tho.
