This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

I love how microsoft never learns their lessons.
That looks pretty ugly. I'm not really a fan of trying to make computers look more like phones but I think I'm in the minority there. Oh well, I never use the start menu anyways, I only have a few programs and they're all pinned to my taskbar.
Looks like MacOS and various Linux distros had a deformed, illegitimate child.
IF the categorization works well, and that's a big if, I like it.
And if the categorization isn't absolutely perfect, you can bet everyone will be clamoring to be allowed to customize it or disable it.
Not sure when it started, but I've already noticed some Start Menu fuckery with just the 'Sign Out' portion. I believe you previously just clicked on your profile picture/name and the options for signing out were right there. They've "helpfully" hidden those options now beneath a ••• menu for no apparent reason. I was a little aggravated when I first noticed it because it seemingly changed out of nowhere. Not a huge change, but it requires one more click to do now.
Right click the start menu should be easier to get to iirc
This is a new layout for the "all apps" section. It is toggle able, so if you don't like it you don't need to use it. I will give it a try but I don't often go into all apps anyway.
So much negativity here.
I can’t wait!
Lol jk I don’t use Windows garbage
