To all on the list and this thread: Why did the “flat look” come into vogue? In the Linux world, it’s also crept in with the GTK3 widgets. Was the driving force tablets and mobile devices?
I’m not an APPLE fan boy. Let’s get that out there first. I’ve dealt with Microsoft since the early eighties. I downloaded and installed Windows 10 tonight and I was sorely disappointed. So much so I couldn’t revert the machine back to 8.1 fast enough. My boot time was increased and if I had wanted a Mozilla like browser experience I would have downloaded Firefox. They redesigned the snot out of the browser and I was not about to play hide and seek long enough to familiarize myself with the program.
I’ve never dealt with APPLE machines as the expense was prohibitive until now. I’ve tried to install Linux and three attempts failed from ISO discs.
I’m looking into APPLE from here on out. I’m done with MS!
With all respect, I will defer on this one. It's a provocative MacWorld article that makes no pretense to objectivity, it's months old (according to itself), and it's comparing a Win10 Tech Preview (not the final release) to a released Yosemite. While I personally happen to agree with much of the commentary, I think it's asking for a nasty food fight to ask Windows-centric folks to read this because they're gonna justifiably hit back hard:
On the basis of this tech preview there’s previous [sic - was apparently meant to be "precious"] little in Windows 10 to get excited about. Yosemite trumps it in almost every regard. Even better, Yosemite is already here while Windows 10 is still months away. Microsoft needs to significantly up its game before Windows 10 is released but all the signs are the features are mostly set in stone, aside from a handful of adjustments."Even better"? No bias here... :-) Really, MacWorld, that's a bit over the top.Ultimately, Windows 10 feels like an apology for Windows 8. When the best you can say about a new operating system is that it isn’t as bad as its predecessor, there’s clearly something wrong...
If a reasonable (e.g. less breathless, more objective) third-party comparison appears, reviewing the Win10 release against Yosemite, I certainly think that would be Windows-ping-worthy. But with no offense intended whatsoever, I think this one is better off as just a Mac list ping.
