> Microsoft tested its various Start menu designs with more than 300 Windows 11 fans and even co-creation calls with select fans. “We watched eye-tracking heat maps swirl, counted scroll wheels, and listened for ’oh!‘s of delight to know where we were hitting the mark,” says the design team.
I’m sorry but there’s no way anyone was giving “oh’s of delight” at the windows 11 start menu. I built a gaming PC with my son that uses windows 11, and after using only Linux and MacOS for years it really was disappointing to see just how poorly Windows performs. The start menu isn’t the worst thing about the platform, but it certainly isn’t eliciting delight.
