14 DAY TRIAL // It’s no secret that there are a lot of people out there who aren’t really satisfied with the way Windows 8 works and feels, and some even think that things are very unlikely to change in Windows 10.
As a result, Microsoft continues to be criticized for modern Windows every once in a while, and a recent conversation between Windows Insider boss Gabriel Aul and one of the company’s users pretty much shows that Windows 10 won’t convince everyone out there to upgrade.
As you can see in the conversation embedded below, Microsoft was accused of going forward with the Windows 8 strategy and keeping the good UI and UX from Windows 7 away from modern Windows, despite the fact that it indeed pledged to bring back some features.
“No amount of feedback is going to fix the totally flawed design+strategy. What Microsoft needs is someone to guide the Windows team,” Twitter user @UXGaurav told Gabe Aul, adding that Microsoft needed someone more of a dictator that could also be a visionary at the same time.
Aul, on the other hand, says that democracy is what Microsoft needs right now, which would obviously guarantee that everyone is being heard when complaining about the operating system and the features that are being built in.
Opinions are obviously divided on this, but it’s clear that Windows 10 might not stop the modern Windows hate, so Microsoft really needs to act carefully this time.
@UXGaurav That's certainly not our intent, I'm sorry to hear you feel that way.

@UXGaurav UX is still early at this point, still evolving. #WindowsInsiders is so you can tell us what features matter most to you.

@UXGaurav You mean democracy doesn't work, so we should have a dictator? :-)

@UXGaurav We respectfully disagree, so we're going to stick with democracy. Gladly hear your votes counted too, so I hope you'll participate
