Microsoft Windows is
badly in need of a
UI that's nice.

Some feature filed under
‘Accessibility’
makes it superb – but you
can't find it twice.

(Brought to you by several pints of Kopparberg and [livejournal.com profile] fanf praising the ‘mouse trails’ feature in Windows.)

OK, so why was [livejournal.com profile] fanf praising the "mouse trails" feature in Windows? Once upon a time, when laptop screens had a persistence measured in seconds not milliseconds, they were occasionally useful, but on a modern display?
