Reply to comment by FruitFly in Apple might finally make a touchscreen Mac by No-Drawing-6975

Honestly, it is and has been happening in Windows since the touch screen push with Windows 8.

Yep, that's what I'm talking about

I dunno... maybe because I'm old and need things zoomed anyway to see them, I don't see that as a nod to touchscreen, just better readability. Heh.

I guess it's probably for touch, but I've enjoyed being able to see things better.

The Microsoft Design Language used in Windows since Windows 8, previously called Metro, was explicitly designed for touch and introduced with Windows Phone 7.

Readability being improved is a side effect, and there are better ways to accomplish that goal than what is being done here.
