Not quite touch-first, but a bit more fondle-friendly
Another test build of Windows 11 has emerged, this time with improvements aimed at tablet users. It’s been a while since Microsoft (or its OEMs) had a crack at a dedicated tablet, and we doubt there are many Surface Pros out there without a keyboard either attached or within reaching distance. However, with build 22563, Microsoft said « we’re introducing a new taskbar state that’s specifically designed to make you feel more confident and comfortable using your device as a tablet. » It doesn’t look like a return to touch-first world of Window 8. Instead the taskbar now has two states for those with the right hardware (laptops and desktops need not apply) – collapsed and expanded. Toggled by swiping up and down from the bottom of the screen, collapsed tucks the bar out of the way, while expanded makes it easier to jab with fingers.
