I was really interested in it, right up until the point I saw this, in "unwelcome technologies":
- "Natural" scrolling: It is the wrong way around. Made by people who don't understand scroll bars. Why would one want to turn the wheel downwards to go up?!
I think the people making this system are truly luddites, who don't understand things they don't like.
Natural scrolling (and pretty much all augmented manipulation / gesture capabilities from a touchpad) is probably the best change Apple has made to UI/UX in more than a decade, precisely because it frees the user from having to move their cursor to a scrollbar - the scrolling hardware is connected directly to the thing being scrolled, not to a UI control widget, that then controls the content. Your finger directly moves the thing being moved.
Someone who can't assimilate that simple UX construct, has no business being exposed to chewable food, or cutlery sharper than a wooden spoon, let alone directing the UX of an operating system.
Also, not providing a framework for the user to choose, and set their preference for scrolling direction, makes them just as controlling, and anti-user hostile as Apple, so the hypocrisy is kindof off the scale.
