Uggggh fucking whhhhhy.
I don’t even use Windows and I have to put up with this shit. My parents are going to call and ask how and why they have to use this new thing.
What was gained from this exercise in self-lobotomization? Pick a design language and stick to it.
Stirring the pot like this is driving away even enterprise users. My last org only approved Macs and Chromebooks because we didn’t want to deal with the headaches that windows brought. Imagine saying that statement 10 years ago!
If there aren't any visible changes then the lusers won't upgrade. "Why did I have to switch to Windows 11 if nothing changed??" etc.
By shuffling the look and feel of the product constantly they can give an impression of actual upgrades being made. The system looks different after your update, after all.
Microsoft already knows that anyone with technical knowledge is looking to dodge this update, they don't need to make the regular users want to dodge it too.
