WIN10 Design director tells you what has changed (and what has not changed)
Albert Shum, the head of the design team at the Microsoft operating system team, has been broadly telling you about the decisions made by showing the new operating system (WIN10). He posted blogs focusing on most of the feedback that the team received, including the new menu options found on mobile terminals, and reiterated that, especially now that Win10 has appeared before the public, the work is not over yet. According to Shum, Win10 's new "Hamburger" menu (pulled from the top left corner) is like a "home" menu for an app, but it's obviously meaningless in that position and is rarely useful. The intent of the design team is to ensure that almost all apps, as well as an adjustable user experience (allowing a certain degree of freedom): Erase the controls on the mobile side, but better focus on the keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls on the PC side. Long-standing design decisions (at least in Windows), like the Address bar location at the top of IE, keep the test object. The team is obviously also in the explorer design, but now the address bar remains at the top of the browser. And, if you think that Win10 's mobile terminal looks a bit rough at the edge, the team leader adds, "What you see now is just some of the apps that fit into the mobile UI, and we've been doing it (after the app is done)." When the operating system moves and the PC terminals go their separate ways, everything gets a little complicated. Switching between different tasks on PC-based Windows is from left to right, and on the mobile side just the opposite. Will Microsoft reject a standard design practice? Maybe it will. "We want to understand how hard it is to re-learn from mobile phone users before we make the final decision," he said. "Considering that Windows PCs is more than Windows Phone, this decision may be much simpler than you might think.
