Holy shit they finally got rid of the accent color background for the icons, AND it's not pure black?!

Not sold on the file explorer update just yet. I kinda think the existing one in 1909 is just about as close to perfect as it's ever been. This new one looks a lot more simplified based on that glimpse.

Anyway, I do look forward to the icon refresh as well as them ripping out the old Edge and replacing it with the new Chromium one. The legacy one serves no purpose now.

I definitely like some of the changes. Others like Explorer I will have to play around with a bit more.

Looks very clean. I hope they add dynamic theme feature from macos that switches dark and light mode along with your wallpaper based on time of day. I am using this 3rd party app called Windynamicdesktop that does the same but should be built in really.

Probably a dream that's never going to happen but I wish Windows copied macOS Finder's column view. As shit as Finder can be, I absolutely love column view.

Hoping sear function works better. idk if it's because I'm disabling Cortana and it doesn't like that.... But it's so slow

So they changed the start menu, windows icons, and are offering more accessibility tools? That's cool but doesn't seem like much.

Well , the start menu is still full of tiles...
I thought they got rid of those... i guess i read wrong or it's a setting they are not demonstrating.

Icons are an ok start, but more UI consistency between apps please.

Plus, something's got to be done about Photo's shithouse performance. I've switched to using a third-party software like nomacs.

I must've installed Win10 on hundreds of computers by now. Photos, no matter the computer - old, new, spec'd out - always takes well over a minute to load up. What in the fuck is wrong with that program? Completely shit lmao

There's no fix. Only thing you can do it go back to the original photos program which works flawlessly (or another program of your choice.)

Why doesn't Instagram have a time slider? I don't want to watch the intro. I just want the end bit.

Also, the start menu doesn't really look different at all.

All the other features are nice, but I was originally told that the start menu tiles would be going away or something.

It looks a LOT better, but still a bit ways to go. But I'm glad MS is finally redesigning Windows out of the 8/metro live tiles and flat era. It was super ugly.
