Microsoft is no stranger to design changes that incite an angry mob, from the new Start menu in Windows 7 to the Ribbon UI in Office to the Metro/Modern UI in from Windows Phone to Windows 8 to present. While it won’t be introducing anything as drastic as those, the so-called Project NEON design change could still ruffle a few feathers, confuse not a small amount of people, and question Microsoft’s usability principles

Could you name some of the frustrating features that bug you the most from the 15031 version?

The one that bugs me the most today is the scroll bar on the Settings App: It's hidden by default and only appears as a SUPER thin line when the mouse is over the app and only gets large enough to use when your cursor is in the area it occupies.  It's hard to know that there is more to the window you are looking at!

I have a program that does that and ya it is incredibly annoying.  On top of that, the program brings out the scrollbar rather slowly, just to add a little extra aggravation I think.  X|

That tiny super thin scrollbar seems to be coming into other Microshit products too, Skype for Desktop. The emoticons area is extremely hard to navigate, and there is absolutely no reason why they cannot make it bigger, in Windows 10 areas or Skype. Heck, the problem is even in Skype on Windows 7 and 8.1.

I guess when your pretty much the only game in town you can do whatever ya want.

Exactly!   Arrogant Microsoft treats its customers with contempt because it is the only game in town.  I mean, it was stuffing Win 10 down the throats of people who clearly didn't want it, myself included, and often made it so there was no option to roll back, like it did to me and some others I know.

Any respect I had for Microsoft died that day. :thumbsdown:

As long as I've been building houses, 'Windows' must have Frames! ;)

Terrible!
