Customizable context menus was my main grizzle with 11. Things I needed were in the show more options, but if I made that the default the list was six miles long. I cannot wait for this one!!!

Microsoft teases a faster and configurable context menu (right-click menu) for Windows 11 after years of complaints!

Marcus Ash, who leads Design and Research for Windows and Devices, says Microsoft is working on making context menus faster, simpler by default, and configurable to what you use most.

That last part is huge.

Windows 11’s context menu was supposed to fix the cluttered Windows 10 right-click menu. Instead, it became slower, padded, inconsistent, and still messy.

You often need “Show more options” just to reach the old menu, which defeats the whole point of redesigning it.

Now Microsoft is taking the same approach it used with Start and taskbar: give users control.

Resizable Start. Movable taskbar. Smaller taskbar. Customizable Start sections. And now, configurable context menus.

This is the Windows 11 reset users wanted 🥳

@gordoslair I hope so. This was my all time favorite computer I’ve ever owned! (My first Mac Studio with M1 Max probably being my second favorite.)

@GameStalgiaX That I actually owned on a computer? EPYX Summer Games on C64. In any format, a yellow round PACMAN with a blue tinted screen.

@tommithetechie At one of my first jobs we had a pair of giant tape drives that we used to thread like that and take data between a mainframe and a midrange. One of my first tasks was to figure out how to eliminate the tape and transfer via network. One was on twinax and one was to token ring.

I love my geeky little city! The Stong @museumofplay has a World Video Game Hall of Fame exhibit at @ROCAirport. #retrogaming #retrotech #retrocomputing

@tommithetechie So sorry you are dealing with pain. Very not fun.

[IPNetGeek @IPNetGeek]

@tommithetechie I was thinking that looked very Google-esque!

@difficultpatty No pickles?! Orderly make your way to the exits. Leave any items behind.

Pride Month is a reminder to show up for the people we care about. To my LGBTQ+ family and friends: I see you, I support you, and you are loved.

@theSiliconSiren The resemblance stopped at appearances. I had a couple of eMachines -- in this form factor and tower. They weren't terribly great for me. Maybe others had a different experience. I know Apple went after them, but you'd never confuse one for the other.

[IPNetGeek @IPNetGeek]

This is entirely too much analysis of a meme. 7 was wildly later than the date (2009). No one is saying Aero wasn’t beautiful but its performance was problematic. Also, the image of the Apple UI is not correct as the window controls are in the complete wrong spot. So I guess there’s more distinction. 🤣
