> no side taskbar

This is literally the first thing I do on a fresh install. What the hell were they thinking

> start menu further ruined

but whyyyyyyyyyyyy

I honestly never had a problem with Microsoft Windows over its UI decisions until Windows 8.

Windows up to and including Windows 7 were actually ok, because you could put the start menu on the side, switch to classic UI, turn off the graphical embellishments that your shit laptop didn't like, and so on.

Windows 8 became very tabletified, but with options to switch to classic UI, and Windows 10 is the same but arguably a bit more bizarre.

Neither UI was really consistent or knew what it wanted to be, and worst of all, the user can't decide what it should be.

But whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy



Errata:

    Windows 8 became very
    tabletified, but 
    with options...
should read:

    without options...


Dammit, I was just going to reply to your GP comment and ask how one switches on the classic UI! :-(
