Answer me this
-
I have a Windows Insider installation in a VM and I wander into it from time to time because, well because. It has refused to update to 22H2 for a few weeks, downloads to 100% and then fails. Yes, I have DDG'd it and tried all the canned fixes. Pretty easy to just download the latest and create another VM. But My question has to do with the GUI. The settings page has 11 items on the left and the System page has 10 items plus an ad for Office 365 on the right. Just like its predecessor, W10, none of those items are listed in alphabetic order. Maybe the order is supposed to be in their idea of most used? Is this considered better GUI? After you have accustomed yourself to it, it doesn't matter, but seems like they should visit QA and ask for some codez to alphabetize their lists. :wtf:

The item order could be based on telemetry and actual most-used statistics. That's probably a lot more uniform than alphabetical order when you factor in things like localization, business vs. consumer vs. embedded, and so on.
