Installing a major update doesn't have to look like ass.


Recommended Posts

A couple of days ago I was watching my FireTV install the latest FireTV FireOS 5.0 OS update. It downloaded it and rebooted. What I saw on my TV during the update was Beautiful, I know it's silly to get all gitty about a update screen that most people just leave the room for. But it does show that it doesn't have to look like ass. Yes, i'm talking about the Windows Insider build / November update screen.

 

So I was wondering, if they borrowed from the FireTV, what it would look like. So for fun, I made some Mockups.

it looks nice and stylish. however - and this is my personal opinion - it could provide a little bit more infos, what is it downloading, filesize and so on...

Well it's already downloaded the update, now it's just installing it.

Nothing hypnotizes the users more than an old plain progressbar.

Watching paint dry is more interesting than watching updates install on a PC.

 

Who cares what it looks like, really? Again, another non-issue. 

 

Neowin, all about eye candy... 

Yes, because why have anything look good at all, when it can just look like ass instead. Oh wait, we tried that a few times with Windows. It worked out so well. (Y)

You mean, all this time you have been missing out on my awesome images? :D ... Well I can see them, can any one else?

I see simon langs defrag picture - but your is just a bunch of names.jpg

 

Neowin had a problem like this a while back... Or maybe it could be my system.. On the road and have had some issues with connectivity..  So maybe my cache or something is messed up.. Will clear and see.

 

Yeah just cleared cache, restarted firefox - yeah your images or just names...
