Microsoft is repeating the same error with the "new" Windows 11 which is just a rebrand of 10 + updates and a awkward theme update.
Which in turn is just a refurbished Windows 8.x..
That being said, Windows 8 was at least partially pretty to look at.
On a side by side comparison, Windows 1x looks very bleak.
What I do miss from 8.x is that blue side-bar thingy with the WLAN stations.
This is akin to Windows 7 vs Vista, think.:
Windows 7 was technically much more defined, but Vista had much prettier optics.
Just think of that glossy, cool black taskbar with the blue marble (start button) !
Like a hommage to our blue planet.
Also, the desktop gadgets. They were useful, actually.
But that's 21th century Microsoft. Instead of making things selectable for users that find them useful,
the company tries something new and if it's no big success, abandons it all together.
In my opinion, that's no better than Apple. Rather, worse.
Apple at least used to have this whole family thing going on.
Ie, the company never bad mouths its own products.
Microsoft by contrast, denies its own products whenever it suits the company.
