From day one of Windows 11, I wrote that Windows 11 felt like an unnecessary replacement for Windows 10. I’ve since changed my mind about that, in part because Microsoft has pivoted toward features like Windows Spotlight and adding AI capabilities like Copilot. MacOS Tahoe looks and feels somewhat like Windows Vista’s Aero Glass design language, but you can’t hold that against them—some of Microsoft’s early Windows efforts were fondly remembered for their UI.
Oh so he doesn’t know what he is talking about. How has 11 gotten better with ‘AI’ or anything else.
Also, they don’t seem to remember that Mac OS X 10.2 used Aqua and glassmorphism in 2002 to match their iMac’ brand new translucent style 5 years before Windows Vista was released (2007).

It’s got what shareholders crave

Well, hopefully their opinion changed from “unnecessary replacement” to “replacement with degraded performance and unnecessary malware.”
Also, everyone hated the UI in Vista at the time.
I hated XP’s FisherPrice UI as well…
Yeah, the classic UI was better (and saved you a couple of pixels of useful screen real estate).
Context I had no idea what was going on until I found this at the bottom of all the comments.
Didn’t Vista get a ton of hate for its new UI?
IIRC, vista got hate because to run it a massive number of users would have to…upgrade…their…hardware.
