Hello, Peter,
Regarding the Touch Bar:
- if I buy a computer with it (and spend more money), I expect it to bring
much joy to the use of my new laptop;
- if I am not satisfied with the Bar, I cannot remove it physically from
the computer, it stands there and lights up every once in a while,
reminding me how well I spent my money;
- I could use the 30-day money-back guarantee option, but that one might
not be available in my region (and requires some additional effort and
potentially even cost on my side).
Regarding the LO UI-type change:
- I haven't spent any money on the new UI, it is already present in
previous versions, maybe I even played with it before (or have it enabled)
and it is already described in all of the documentation;
- if I do not like the new interface, I can switch back to the old one (OK,
some users with basic computer knowledge might have a problem with that, so
they need to be assisted in some way by a wizard or some UI tool);
- *if I am not mistaken* - this would only change for users without a user
profile, i.e. without previous versions of LO installed - all others would
get the UI they used with the old/previous version of LO? So if they are
not used to LO and come from MSO, the notebookbar might seem a more logical
choice for starting the software for the first time.
Of course, there will be users fighting about which UI is better, but ... de
gustibus non disputandum est.
Lp, m.
