I can't believe people put up with this hot garbage. It reminds me of A.I. (2001) where the retina-scanning robots would just crawl over an entire apartment, grabbing everyone's head and scanning them.
People would just pause, get their eyes scanned by some random scurrying robot, and continue on with their day like nothing happened.
Good grief. Is windows 12 going to come with an anal probe, as well?
@CharismaticBatman OK, but that isn't what I had in mind. I moved to 11 to fix a problem I had with 10 I couldn't figure out any other way. (Spoiler alert: didn't fix it.) I wound up inheriting a bunch of features and antifeatures I didn't care for. Animations included.
There are plenty of things I don't like about Apple, but one of the good decisions they made long ago was to prioritize user interface responsiveness: decoupling the user experience from however slow or fast the newly initiated operation really took to complete.
The required animations in win11 (like: opening the start menu) are stuttery and unpleasant because they aren't prioritized over other activity.
(Oh look! I did find a toggle to turn them off. Bad first impressions.)
It's funny, because the one thing I think they got incredibly wrong is the infamous SBOD (Spinning Beachball of Death).
I don't think MacOS is any less responsive than windows, but the spinning beachball painfully draws the user's attention to every time a program runs off the rails.
