[IxDA Discuss] Windows -- what would you change in interaction?

[Antoine RJ Wright]

I would make the quick launch replace the Start > Programs and let
that lie as a ribbon that can be toggled on/off on the desktop.

Instead of the entire task bar, I'd break it into two modules,
Start/Control Panel and Active Programs/Clock.
- the Start/Control would be just the Start button, movable anywhere.
Clicking on it give the power, run, search, and control panel
- the active program/clock would be a bar that goes no more than 3/4
the length or height of the screen; showing open programs grouped
with number of windows

After that, I'd redo the window chrome to not use the bars that are
there but only hover areas in the corners for menu (top left) and
move/close (top right) actions.
