Holy crap it's 2014! Where did the time go? Seriously...where does it go?
Anyways, yes, I haven't been here for a while for all of those who have been here for a while; I have a thread in the Off Topic section about that. Today I'm here because I'm looking for some feedback/discussion/arguments/life stories/desires about one simple thing that has been a sore spot and point of discussion here: the Desktop UI.
I'm actually working on some mockups for a UI design that will and should be a Windows 9 or later version and not an 8.x type update as that's not going to be a true branch of Windows 8 I think. But I do need something, what are the things you love, live and die for, with the Desktop?
I have my favorite things like the selection pane for multiple files/folder selection, drag and drop, file system management with Explorer, using Photoshop (although CC is WAT? to me, slightly odd and different), doing data recovery, deploying .wim files with DISM in PowerShell, and using VMs.
I don't like the window management set up however.
Your turn!
