What I want in OS X | Macworld: This concept was engineered for managing a few windows on a small screen. Today’s screens have more than seven times as many pixels than that of a classic Mac but the amount of work we manage to perform has become an order of magnitude greater.
Dare I say that back in 1985, Microsoft, in its eagerness to introduce a windowed OS but not to get sued by Apple quite so quickly, fell bass-ackwards into the correct approach? Windows 1.0 used tiled panels instead of overlapping windows. What if OS X 11 had a separate Easy Mode in which the user is always looking at a single screen of immediately-relevant tiles, adeptly curated by the OS based on its guess at what’s important to you at this part of your day?
