Microsoft Core OS is ready for circular screens

[Puppy]

Laptop manufactures do their best to "innovate" products using the most stupid ideas. Among crappy keyboards, extra-wide 21:9 screens, super thin & weak and throttling machines, there is yet another possible innovation waiting for us - circular screens Microsoft is ready for this https://old.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comm ... in_action/ so expect new super innovative circular ThinkPad in the future

FYI: circular = round as a circle.
No round screen (yet)!
In this off-the-wall idea the rectangular screen rotates while the picture stays remains in the same orientation.

All I see is pointless eye-candy.

Well IIRC that "Core" OS is a light Windows, so quite obviously it's aimed at the so-called "smartwatches" ; which happen to sport circular screens.

Yeah, the title is a bit misleading; I think "rotating screen" is more accurate.

Completely pointless? No. The next best thing in the world? Also no.

I could see this being some kind of interesting GUI element on a smartphone over a desktop, where you actualy can/regularly rotate the screen.
