    That’s not nearly shitty enough. It’s too useful. Look at all the options and other clickable things you got on the start menu, and it only took one click to open it.

    That’s not how this works anymore. If this were truly made today, it would be needlessly “streamlined”, i.e. everything is hidden so as not to “clutter up” the UI with useful things, and make more room for…nothing. Just wasted space.

    We hide everything behind multiple clicks now because the “average user” starts bleeding out their eyes if they’re forced to see many things at once.

      Also, icons. The icons in Windows XP are too recognizable. You need to minimalize them. In fact, minimalize it so hard that not one person could understand what the icon is even referring to.

        Abstract art icons.

        Folder: rectangle on its side. Start: triangle pointing up. Trash: rectangle standing up.
