Some parts of windows 10 are better, but I really dislike crap like the giant screens: "Hi" "We're getting things ready for you" etc Windows 2000 had the most sensible structural presentation. This weird design idiom is not helpful to the user.

Agreed, 2000 had the best overall UI. The only change I like in Windows 10 is the search field as a replacement for the start menu.

Yeah, pressing the win key and then typing is a good thing. I also appreciate the right click on start having quick access to the stuff power users want. The font and other rendering in general are also excellent

I find it fascinating that everyone loves this carryover from Windows 8 but folks hated that they got rid of the start menu in that version. Nobody uses it in 10, but presenting the same feature slightly differently has a massive impact on user reaction

"nobody uses it" referring to the start menu, not the search function

I still find the new arrangement of the ui pretty awful actually. It's focused around store apps and ms services. I used none of those.

Oh absolutely. Only decent way to use it is win+start typing what you want.

Which works as long as you remember what it is. I've had to go find stuff a handful of times and they made that really unnecessarily painful with the "automatic categories" stuff
