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.
They never really go all in. They go full force at something but they never really fully commit
Like live tiles was fine except the large sections of the Windows still used the old system, so you’d click a button in settings and suddenly you’d be reverted back to the old window system. Because they never bothered to upgrade that part of the OS.
Microsoft’s problem is that they can never be arsed to be consistent.
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.

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.

I feel like it’s more pandering to investors than having actual faith it it taking off.
