It's clean and consistent with the rest of Microsoft's current design language. I will say I like the new Microsoft Launcher UI. Integrate it deep with the gesture system and the rest of the OS, and allow it to feel like a component of the OS rather than a third-party launcher that isn't really integrated at all.

Surface should create a special Surface Duo launcher that's designed for the dual-screen form factor from the ground up. It's just a poor UX all around, and I wish Microsoft would fix it.īetter yet, I wish the Surface Duo team would dump Microsoft Launcher and go its own route.

The launcher unloads and reloads itself whenever you go into and out of an app, and it makes no effort to tie itself to gestures to create a more fluid experience.

Regardless of the feature drought, the issues with Microsoft Launcher not feeling integrated with the rest of the Surface Duo OS is a serious sticking point for me. Source: Daniel Rubino / Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Daniel Rubino / Windows Central)
