Microsoft learns nothing from their continued pattern of going all-in on a trendy and unproven concept. Windows 8 “live tiles” that were supposed to create one look and feel across devices, Cortana was supposed to be the digital assistant of the future, they even did their own poorly executed folding phone.
Seriously? There’s a huge amount of old UI in Win11. I can’t make it more than 10-20 seconds without seeing it.
And it’s a shame they don’t commit because I actually go against the grain in that I think the Win11 UI is actually pretty good, I’m the few places where it actually exists.
Sure but do you think that works in the long run? Wouldn’t it be better if they just made things right? I don’t have the answer but I know it’s what I prefer
What the user prefers doesnt matter. Its what the investors prefer.
For users, the important statistic is tolerance. Find the point on the graph where you have the highest shareholder preference that allows the lowest possible tolerance of users before they break from the product.
There are barely any laptops that ship with linux and most of them use the same keyboard as their Windows counterparts. Microsoft makes deals with the OEMs so unless you’re buying from enthusiast brands like System76 or Framework you’re likely to pay for a Windows license, even if you don’t want it.

Honestly, Windows 11 is the closest they’ve come to going all in. There are very few parts of the old system left, although I have found a few.
