Re: "old WIndows"

The worst example I can think of was the Win8 "feature" that you open the "start panel" by moving the mouse cursor to one corner of the screen.

They basically copied that from macOS. That's how it still is today.

In some ways it's actually quite good. According to Fitt's Law, the edges of the screen are infinitely deep in one axis, and the corners infinitely deep in two axes. Throw your mouse towards the corner and no matter how fast you're going, you'll hit it.

Of course, on a touch screen it's a paddling pool of stale fish wank, but that's another story. :)
