10 years iPad: How Apple got the eBook UX right (and Windows still lacks it)

I got a new laptop that happened to have Windows 10 on it. While fiddling around on it (before abandoning ship and installing Linux on it) I was seriously jarred by how so many of the setup and configuration screens are still exactly the way they were 2 decades ago for Windows.<p>They put so much effort on polish and whatever on the general in-your-face parts of the UI, and yet all these archaic bits keep coming through all over the place.<p>I was pretty surprised. I find most Linux distros to be far more coherent and consistent experiences.<p>I stopped upgrading my Mac when iTunes deleted 80% of my music. It&#x27;s relegated to recording music with Logic and nothing else, now. I don&#x27;t trust the OS enough to care what happens to it otherwise. Eventually that hardware will die, but by then I won&#x27;t be using Logic anymore, either.
