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.

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)

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...

Can you see that image?  Talk about looking like ass ;) hehehehe  makes your post look bad!  And it just seems to be your posts WarW.. Your mock up of backup for example, and now this one - have not noticed the problem on any other threads just your posts.
