I personally am very excited for the upcoming Windows 11 update which will allow users to move the taskbar to any edge of their screen.
I don't use windows too often, but I remember I was happy with an update a year or two ago which allows changing the volume by scrolling on the tray icon.
Now, of course, it still doesn't work with a touchpad, but baby steps, right?
This feature has been was available on GNOME since forever. I'm still waiting for Microsoft to steal another nice thing: MRU (Most Recently Used) keyboard layout switching. If you have two often used keyboard layouts A and B, and less used layouts C, D, E, then pressing the switch shortcut once will switch between A and B without the need to cycle through C, D, E.
OMG I didn't know about this. It works! Hover over the speaker icon and adjust with the mouse wheel.
Ah it'll be just like 2015 again
Wasn’t this in win 95?
Yep and it will be glorious.
I cant wait for the number one gripe of all my users to finally be catered for.
Wait, when did they take that away?
I haven't touched MS in this decade, but I swear that used to be a thing at least through 7...
such innovation. very wow
Nobody said anything about innovation, the discussion was about whether people look forward to windows updates or not.
I don't know if reverting features and then users being glad when they implement them again years later is great proof that people "like" Windows updates as a general statement
People aren't glad for the update. They are only glad to get a feature back that Microsoft was trying to gaslight them into believing they never wanted in the first place.
Something that they removed in Windows 11 because yes.
Not to start a flame war, but people who move their taskbar to the left edge of the screen are extremely sinister and should not be trusted, because they probably use tabs instead of spaces, and vi instead of emacs. Putting your taskbar on the right edge is fine though, as is using spaces and emacs. Putting the taskbar on the top or bottom just means you're gay, not that there's anything wrong with that. ;)
Tabs on the other hand (and of the other type) should be able to move freely between all edges of all windows.
