Commitment is different from actually doing it, so not holding my breath.

Of all the things that should have been native from the very beginning is the fudging “user interface”.

Product management have lost their minds. 10 was the final Windows for me.

Maybe they should have made the effort to figure out what users actually want before shoving the half baked OS down everyone’s throats?

Microslop has always dreamed of having a full online OS basically a bloated thin client terminal for all their corporate bullshit.

This is what Bill Gates wanted to achieve in their early thousands, Which is why Internet explorer was baked into Windows explorer.

The goal was always a subscription service for your own data and hardware. It seems that Windows 11 was just a really shitty implementation of that idea. Just like Windows 8 was a shitty implementation of touchscreen based UI that was forced upon everyone.

I don't have to give any consideration to how true this is, because I quit windows last year. It's liberating.

It’s bad but when I see “native UI”, my first thought is that they mean “React Native” so it’s still a web platform.

I'm scared to ask, but was it not native to begin with? The actual UI? When did it stop being native?

Tldr, what tribe are they going with for the theme?
