Google VP of Design Matias Duarte, RIGHT, has slammed Windows 10 on Twitter
GOOGLE Design guru Matias Duarte this week slammed the new Microsoft operating system on Twitter.

Google Vice President of Design Matias Duarte has spoken out against Windows 10 – branding the new operating system "basically XP with a flat design skin."
The Google Vice President took to Twitter to blast the new Microsoft operating system.
"I just setup a Surface 4 & Windows 10 – not sure why I was excited to try a new thing, it's basically XP with a flat design skin," he posted on Twitter.

Mr Duarte is responsible for Material Design – the new unified design principal that powers all of Google's services, from Android to ChomeOS and even its webpages.
"Design is all about finding solutions within constraints," Mr Duarte said, speaking before the announcement of Material Design back in June 2014: "If there were no constraints, it’s not design — it’s art."
But the Google Vice President is clearly not impressed with Microsoft's new operating system, Windows 10.
"Windows10 ? More like Windows 10 years ago," Matias Duarte tweeted.
The Googler was then hit with a flood of disagreement from angry Windows fans.
"Definitely not something that inspired Google and Apple to drop Skeuomorphism and chase the Flats. #FutureNot for sure," one replied to Mr Duarte.




Another add: "Thats better than Chrome OS which has yet to be as functional as Windows XP ever was."
"Went to Google homepage today.It's basically the Google home page from 10 years ago with the same skin. #FutureNot," one social media user blasted.
Google Vice President of Design Mr Duarte was quick to respond to the criticism and posted a number of follow-up tweets.

"Man, I struck a nerve!" he wrote "Overly clever tweetbait aside, I've always liked Microsoft was attempting to do with Windows 8 - change the paradigm."
He then added: "I have no beef with how #Windows10 *looks*. I'm disappointed it *works* just like XP. I understand that's a feature for many. Not for me!"
Microsoft has had a number of issues with Windows 10 since its release earlier this summer.
Users have reported frustratingly slow boot-up speeds, trouble with wifi connections, privacy concerns and issues with child safety features following the jump to Windows 10.
