Meanwhile, here's that animated GIF. The improvements to the Win10 Start Thing are a wonder to behold. Obvious as all get-out, too:

What the heck is Redmond doing up there?

I think they should take very so-called human factors programmers and leadership at MS and chain and shackle them to a pair of oxen that trudges relentlessly though their township and rubs the meat from their bones.
These people are WORTHLESS. They have yet to figure out that not every human has the same capacity for stupid shit as they.
I am so glad I went out and bought a Windows 7 laptop before they disappeared.
I just hope my Win7 Laptop and Desktop hold out.
And Linux is still way behind. I bought a Linux laptop to try out before the Win7 machines wear out. One almost has to be a programmer just to install software and updates.
I heard one sales rep on HSN or QVC admit that Win10 was designed for touchscreens. It sure wasn’t designed for productivity.
Some potential solutions to the "mystery."
1. Respective program/development teams did not communicate with each other
2. No requirements
3. One program dropped requirements to meet the date
4. Development teams from different countries/not geographically co-located
5. No test cases/use cases for verification/validation
On a personal note, I just do not like thew new Win10 menu structure. I know it's customizable, but it's a new configuration item to manage. As I see it, the menu has too many hidden things that pop up and I don't really care about the latest news feed (for example, G. Michael in your gif). I don't want variable things in my menu structure; I want it stable and consistent!
Just install the clean and free “CLassic Shell” and never see that Redmond shite again.
Meanwhile, MS seems to never have heard of tabbing Windows Explorer. Or allowing you to “color code” file names.
“Windows 10s current Start menu/screen thing is a complex...”
I love having an IQ above a Democrat, because it has never been “a complex” anything. I swear The Register is the tech worlds version of Washington Post.
Happy to see the folders since my workplace has upgraded to 10, and this will come in handy.
As someone who’s used most everything from Windows 1 up through NT, XP, Server X, 7, 8 and now 10; I am not having any problems with 10. Like change in life, it just takes a little getting used to it. Are you really unable to adjust or is this just a “get off my lawn and PC” moment?
And yes, I have tried all sorts of Linux distros, including compiling my own, but eventually I come back to Windows, it just works for me.
The Hackintosh I have is pretty cool, but again, I just need something that works. Whatever works for me, at that moment, is fine!
Thanks for the screen shot, still looks like an iFag smartphone rather than a PC.
I did fix the interface on the wife’s W8 laptop so I could try and navigate the damn thing, but why should I have to?
It’s like they are trying to fix “New Coke” (shakes head)
where all the white women at?
No?
OK, I’ve got a new computer with Win 10 and I have no idea what that box of squares is for even tho I see it every time I click on the programs icon.......There’s even a picture in one of the boxes that is from my “pictures” folder that I have no idea how It got there
