    so microsoft thinking "oh we can't copy apple this time like we did in the '90s, buuuut uh uh let's take google's stuff and make something new and FLUENT"

    common, the single biggest advancement in UI design was switching from "click" to "tap", from mouse to mobile and microsoft fell of the innovation train a long time ago...

    this is just eye candy

    you guys thinking they hired a new design team? Maybe their old team just got "immersed" in dribbble a little too much these days, this looks like a freshman UX designer trying to impress the dribbble community

    I see nothing usable from a user pov in this - who is this targeted to?

    the next best thing in ux would be switching from click/tap to voice BUT not even this would be ok from a user pov because talking to an interface takes lots more energy from a human user than actually tapping with your finger on something - it took us decades to feel ok with clicking then tapping for content...

    the real issues at this point in time is that humans are at their physical limits when it comes to technology

    the next breakthru would be directly brain interaction or SF stuff like that, until then we are stuck and burned out with the options we have these days - clicking, scrolling, tapping, voicing commands...
