MODERATORS
90s because they used logic in designing things. Now they change for the sake of change.
Like how there was a damn good reason for the start menu button to be on the button right: you could fling your mouse the lower left and no matter if you did it too far or fast, it would always hit the corner, and be at the start button. You never had to "target" the start button, you simply went all the way down to the left. Didn't even have to look.
So obviously, they must of had an equally smart, thoughtful reason to put it in the middle, right? That's a decision born from utility, not aesthetics. Clearly not making a painfully obvious attempt at copying their main competitor.
What on earth are you talking about? What start button is in the middle?
Windows 11 Windows button is now in the middle of the taskbar, as opposed to where it's been for literally 30 years.
Although you can change it to be bottom left again. But it should be the default.
I think this is about windows 11 and Microsoft's stupid decision to move the start menu to the middle
Y2K would like to have a word...
Y2K was fine. We fixed it in the '90s, it employed practically the entire tech workforce for all of '98 and '99. It made it so easy to get into that industry for people like me
