The tiles are so bad that I started using powershell as much as possible to automate my exchange server tasks.

screens got bigger
programs got more functions
With plenty of screen space, why hide them all behind a slim menu bar if you can unroll them for easy acces?
This is what naturally happens once you stop making sure your program will run well on a 640x480 potato

wishful thinking... no they are too autistic to even realize how godlike the UI design in win10 is and rather stick with their disgusting KDE crap.
>>55477108
No, it's shit. It's fucking annoying to have the 5 most-used functions on separate ribbons filled with other random, useless functions.
>>55477108
>>55477208
I actually love ribbon.
Options are clearly labeled and plenty of them, most things take 2 click and very little mouse work.
Also quite customizable.

Luna was the reason I had all theming disabled up until 2007 when I switched to Vista (Aero looked great if you removed some of the crappy fluff animations).

Yes, holy fuck THIS!
>>55477329
true, but if you become proficient in keyboard shortcuts, things go much more quickly, if only because you're no longer taking one hand off the keyboard
>>55477441
Yep, and worst thing about ribbon is its come with decreased visibility into keyboard shortcuts, and fewer defined keyboard shortcuts.
>I guess you like wasting time
Open EMSNew-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox Felix -FilePath \\FQDN\dir\\name.pst
vs
Open EAC(+browser), + 5s wait
Navigate the slow, web UI
Click the small icons
Wait for everything to load
More waiting...
>>55477361
what if I don't?
>>55477506
>fewer defined keyboard shortcuts
Have you tried pressing alt?
Literally turns the entire ribbon into a gigantic keyboard.
>>55477108
yeah even with folders it's nice and when you're done using it, doubleclicking will hide it.
i love the new thing in word where you can hide the ribbon and just focus on writing, no distractions, love it.
>>55477695

Daily reminder that the metro style was designed in powerpoint
>>55477818
looks like complete garbage
>>55477933
Reminder that MS .net had a "flat" theme since at least 2005 but nobody ever used it
>>55478003
Simpler times
>>55477108
To be honest I love the ribbon but only in Office. I fucking hate it in explorer.
>>55478046
you can hide it in explore by double clicking on one of the buttons though
i like it for hiding and unhiding items, it's alot faster than how it used to be and alot easier to find
>>55478003
And WPF looks better than WinForms, except that XAML is upsetting because it obscures all the documentation and makes the class hierarchy even more nightmarish.

I wish Microsoft would have kept 8 Aesthetics but with 10's start menu and get rid of all that tile bullshit
>>55477054
ribbon is pretty nice in certain programs (ones with a fuckload of functions, with too many fairly common ones to fit in a reasonable amount of space as reasonably sized buttons)
tiles are just buttons for people with sausages for fingers
aero and luna are just themes, microsoft didn't invent themes. aero has a couple things like "aero peek", but fuck aero peek, thankfully it can be turned off, really more about saying "LOOK AT THIS THING WE CAN DO NOW THAT WE DO COMPOSITING" than actually being useful
>>55478121
i don't even use the startmenu anymore, tiles are a joke for desktop PCs... i use scripts these days, no need to click on 10different icons to get where i need
>>55477154
powershell is virtually unusable
honestly it could be renamed ipconfig and I would never know the difference
>>55477139
Not everything is a meme my man, just idiotic.
>>55478152
(oh, and microsoft certainly didn't do composited windows first, really, they were about the last due to the trainwreck that was longhorn)
Clearly a troll thread... BUT
>>55477329
Ribbon is terrible.
Icons are vomited all over the screen and constantly change with context. I work much faster when my UI isn't going on a fucking parade.
>>55478189
Damn right the ribbon is terrible. Good thing it can be removed.
The only good thing in that list is tiles, and Mac & Lin already had their version of something similar for ages.
>>55478265
>tiles
hot touchscreen UI garbage, doesn't belong on desktops
on things like pic related however, it's a godsend
>>55478189
Takes about 15 on a shitty laptop screen, even less on a proper computer.
Say whatever you want about microshit but the ribbon is the only GUI update that didn't suck they introduced in the last 8 years
>>55478158
You and your picture are wrong.
I'm talking about the exchange management console, not powershell as a command prompt.
>>55477054

No way, no how. Fuck off, mobile cancer.

What you mean is "My mind is too slow for the equivalent of hyperthread mode of UI"
spoken like a true linux user.

That not only looks ugly, it works worse compared to shit like 2007 Word.
>>55478285
>touchscreen blahblah
It's literally just a way to arrange shortcuts in a separate menu
>>55477054
tbqh i find the ribbon to be a cluster fuck of icons, half of which i have no idea how to use.
>>55478315
Tiles have nothing to do with mobile.
They literally speak to the primitive parts of our brains. This is coming from a guy who loves Win7 and hated Win10 until last month.
If you're a true win7 acolyte, you will eventually learn this eventually.

Ribbon is the only good idea out of the 4 but Microsoft didn't invent it so it doesn't matter
pic related, from 2003
>>55477208

I liked it since it came out and I remember all the backlash from people saying it's not the same when most of those people are old and relatively tech illiterate.
You also forgot to include Windows Snap and jump lists. Honestly Microsoft doesn't get enough credit.

This is why Linux will never win the UI is shit and the "free software" is garbage
>>55481175
Don't spin it as a metro feature just because you learned it as a workaround. You could do that since Vista.
>>55481469
He didn't say that. Being able to use the mouse in addition to the keyboard makes for a more comfortable experience depending on the situation. You seem to reason like those 40% mechanical keyboard fags, are you one of them?
>>55481469
Because I'm smart enough to figure out how to do 90% of what I need on a computer with just one hand.
You need 3.
Why are you on /g/ again?
>>55481724

although i prefer classic ui over all.

Windows NT looked just fine. Anything "better" than that is vain nonsense.
Ribbon is the dumbest shit ever. Most of the time they're filled with at least 50% shit I'll never need while the other 50% would've fit quite comfortably in a plain old toolbar. I suspect that it's similar for most other people. Want to see what buttons the average Office user ACTUALLY uses? Open a Google Docs tab. The rest doesn't deserve prime screen estate.
For the 1% who actually DOES use everything on the ribbon, the old stacking toolbar system achieved the same thing while giving a greater degree of control. Ribbons improve precisely nothing.

Allowing bigger icons now that 640×480 is no longer the dominant display resolution is practical and reasonable, but there's literally nothing wrong with that shade of gray, and IIRC you could change it in Display Settings if it really bothered you that much.
>>55484190

This is fucking bullshit. I tried to download Windows 10 with Microsoft's very own MediaCreationTool to make a bootable USB drive, but it told me there was not enough space on C:

False? are you blind or something? It's exactly what the Ribbon patent describe:
>a tabbed toolbar, each tab containing a series of logical groups of buttons, check boxes, drop-down boxes, and other UI controls for a related set of functions (such as editing a table inserted into a Word document)

YOU LOOK AT THIS RIBBON
IT'S LIKE A TOOLBAR, IT'S LIKE A MALWARE HOLDER, IT'S LIKE A FEATURE NOT A BUG
A REGULAR TOOLBAR DOESN'T WORK
THIS IS FOR THE WINDOWS 10
RIBBON HOLDS 20 TIMES IT'S WEIGHT IN MALWARE
LOOK AT THIS IT JUST DOES THE WORK
WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK TWICE AS HARD?

YOU ALWAYS KNOW THE PAJEETS THEY ALWAYS MAKE GOOD STUFF
PAJEETS WORSHIP IT LIKE ELEPHANTS, RATS, AND TOILETS
LOOK AT THAT COMPLETELY FULL OF MALWARE
